The two bombs that went off in front of offices of Bulgarian oppositional parties are a clear sign that Prime Minister Boyko Borisov is desperate to save his decreasing ratings, Aleksei Petrov, a controversial Bulgarian presidential hopeful, has stated.

In a written statement, Petrov declared he will contact the country's Prosecutor's Office and demand immediate response to Tuesday's blasts, which he called "a terror attack."

Petrov saw a connection between Tuesday's blasts and the one that shook the anti-governmental Galeria weekly in February, stating "the same conception of achieving dominance and control with violence" were used.

The Galeria newspaper is widely believed to be Aleksei Petrov's mouthpiece.

Two explosions shook the offices of Bulgarian parties on Tuesday. The first blast went off at 3:58 a.m. in front of the headquarters of the conservative Order, Law and Justice Party, RZS, in central Sofia.

About twenty minutes later another explosion ripped off the air in front of an office of the party of former Prime Minister Ivan Kostov, Democrats for Strong Bulgaria, which is a part of the parliamentary Blue Coalition.

Both RZS and the Blue Coalition have declared they will support the upcoming no confidence vote called over what the opposition has stated is a failure in the sphere of home affairs.

Right before the blast in February Petrov referred to, Galeria had published transcripts of taped phone conversations between senior government officials and Customs Office chief Vanyo Tanov, which prompted Boyko Borisov to seek and win a confidence vote in Parliament on January 20.

The two heads of the newspaper are widely believed to have ordered the blast, under the guidance of Aleksei Petrov, who is said to be Borisov's archenemy.
