Bulgaria's outgoing Prime Minister, Sergey Stanishev, must be given a chance to continue his leadership of the Bulgarian Socialist Party.
This was stated Monday night by Rumen Ovcharov, who is one of Stanishev's deputies and a head of the Sofia organization of the Socialists.
Ovcharov defined the four-year term of the three-way coalition government (in which he himself was an Economy Minister in 2005-2007 but resigned after a corruption scandal), headed by Stanishev and the Socialist Party, as successful.
He said the BSP could not afford to have its third government of post-socialist Bulgaria (after the Lukanov cabinet in 1991, and the Videnov cabinet in 1995-1997) be remembered as a failure.
Ovcharov said the causes of BSP's loss of the July 5 Elections, where it got only 18% of the votes vs. 40% for the center-right GERB party, were the result of many factors but also of the conducting of a "leader's" campaign, among others.
