Some 22-23% of Bulgarians would vote for the opposition center-right GERB party of former PM Boyko Borisov if elections were to be held now, according to a poll conducted by the National Center for Study of Public Opinion.
The Bulgarian Socialist Party, whose government has seen a series of unprecedented mass rallies for 31 days now, would gather the support of 19 to 20% of voters, the pollsters say.
BSP’s coalition partner, the predominantly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms, would attract 6 to 7% of the vote.
No other formations appear certain to overcome the 4% election threshold and enter Parliament, according to the National Center for Study of Public Opinion – even though several parties stand the chance to do so.
The parties closest to passing the 4% parliamentary threshold are the Bulgaria for Citizens Movement of former EU Commissioner Meglena Kuneva, nationalist party National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria and the extremist Ataka (Attack), according to the poll.
The pollsters have noted that it is too early to measure the approval rating of newly emerged political entities, including the so-called Reform Bloc.
The series of anti-government protests in Bulgaria was triggered by the scandalous appointment of controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS).
Although the appointment was revoked, the people went on to demand that the cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski resign collectively.
