More than half of the Bulgarians are optimistic about the potential and capability of the new minority center-right cabinet, a brand new survey shows.

A total of 60% of the respondents in Afis polling agency survey said they have pinned their hopes on the new government of GERB party leader Boyko Borisov.

The government is enjoying big chances of success because of the unprecedented support that it has among voters before it has even started its work, but it also faces big problems to fix, the survey says.

According to it those who are very pessimistic that it may keep its promises account for only 6% of the respondents.

The parliament, in which GERB party holds majority, also starts its sessions with a very high approval rating - nearly 40% of the Bulgarians say they trust the institution, according to the survey.

The conservative center-right GERB claimed 116 MP seats in July 5 vote, shattering Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev's Socialist Party and falling just five seats short of holding a majority in the 240-seat unicameral parliament.
