The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) stands a chance to win the 2013 parliamentary elections in the country, according to the party's leader and PES president Sergey Stanishev.
At a BSP city council meeting in Sofia, Stanishev pointed out that the approval ratings of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov and his ruling centrist-right GERB have been decreasing rapidly.
BSP must now show that Borisov is responsible for all of GERB's failures and blunders, Stanishev argued, adding that his party must also come up with a convincing and understandable political platform in order to win the elections.
The left-wing leader claimed that GERB would try to make up for its decreasing support by buying votes.
"The election campaign has been launched," BSP lawmaker Rumen Ovcharov has told reporters. He believes that the party has made significant achievements recently, with Stanishev elected as president of the Party of European Socialists and a referendum about to be scheduled on the BSP-backed Bulgarian-Russian Belene Nuclear Power Plant project.
