Democrats Attack Ethnic Party Leader, Former Mayor

Politics | July 8, 2005, Friday

All options for a right-centered coalition in the next government are exhausted, said Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) deputy head.

Vesselin Metodiev said the culprit is the leader of the predominantly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), Ahmed Dogan.

His colleague, Ekaterina Mihailova, criticized the outgoing government. Part of it occupies itself with whether Simeon Saxe-Coburg will be the next Prime Minister and the other concludes shady deals.

Mihailova also criticized former mayor Stefan Sofianski, saying he escaped responsibility for Sofia's garbage crisis by hiding in parliament. Sofianski was elected MP and had to resign from his position.

MRF, which was the junior partner in the SIINM government, ranked third with the support of 14.17% thus winning 34 MPs in the next assembly.

DSB, headed by ex Prime Minister Ivan Kosotv, will have 17 seats as its was backed by 7.08% of the Bulgarians.

Sofianski's Bulgarian People's Union will be presented by 13 MPs in the next Bulgarian Parliament. It received 5.42% of the votes in the June 25 general elections in the country.

What is the most important conclusion from the Sofia Mayor elections on November 15, 2009?
That the ruling party GERB of PM Borisov continues to be hugely popular, whereas the Socialists are pretty much out.

That the decline of the Socialist Party has stopped whereas the ruling party GERB has failed to attract the expected very high number of voters.

That the Sofia residents are either completely disillusioned with politics, or care little about who is Mayor.

That the record-high jackpot of the Bulgarian State Lottery "Toto" generated much greater interest than the Mayor elections.
