Simeon Saxe-Coburg who marks his second anniversary as the prime minister of Bulgaria faces the anger of voters because he have failed to deliver on his promises to improve quality of life. This is what British newspaper The Independent says in article on Bulgaria published on Friday.

Saxe-Coburg (the former king of the country) who embodies the test for the political comeback of European monarchs has been, in addition, left by some of his MPs, which diminished the parliamentary majority of his coalition, The Independent reads. The article stresses that out of the 800 days, over which a significant improvement of the quality of life was pledged, remain only sixty-nine days.

The Independent also quotes Krasen Stanchev from the Institute for Market Economy in Sofia who explains that expectations have been so high they have been impossible to meet. The poverty has diminished, Krasen Stanchev says. However, people compare it to that in other countries rather than to the past. The satisfaction rate of the government went down by 20 percent this month but it will remain in power because opposition is weak, the article insists.
