Will Bulgaria Have a Stable Government After Yet Another Election in June? Our Readers Have Spoken
On our Facebook page, readers were asked about Bulgaria's stability after the June elections
A large number of followers and supporters of the Bulgaria for Citizens party from the second largest city of Plovdiv have withdrawn their confidence from party leader, former EU Commissioner, Meglena Kuneva.
The Bulgarian Focus news agency reports that up to 1 800 people have given up on Kuneva, saying they refuse to participate in what had turned out to be just another political lie.
The regional coordinator of the party, Dani Kanazireva, is quoted saying she and Plovdiv people no longer believed in the former Commissioner's political project and did not want to be part of it. Kanazireva has further informed other local branches are all set to follow Plovdiv's example while people from the party leadership who are from regions outside Sofia have already quit.
The outrage has been sparked by unfulfilled promises to arrange the election ballots to include individuals from all regions of Bulgaria. It has turned out that the lists only include people from the party of former Tsar and Prime Minister, Simeon Saxe-Coburg, National Movement for Stability and Prosperity, NMSP, (of which Kuneva is a former member), and high-ranking functionaries from the Three-Way Coalition Cabinet.
"Obviously for them Bulgaria's is limited to downtown Sofia and its party elite," says Kanazireva, stressing not even a single party follower from Plovdiv has been nominated with the local ballot led by some unknown man from Sofia's suburb of Bankya.
Snap general elections will be held in Bulgaria on May 12, following the resignation of the Cabinet of Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov, and his Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria party, GERB.
