Social psychologist Rosen Yordanov said the We Continue the Change party faces natural decline. The group functions more as a public relations project than a real political party. Yordanov told FOCUS radio that corruption scandals happen to political groups around the world. Parties must learn how to clean themselves from bad practices. The important part is how they respond to problems.
Yordanov criticized efforts to make Kiril Petkov look like a hero. Some public relations experts try to present Petkov as brave for resigning. The psychologist said Petkov should have praised the mayors who exposed corruption instead. The party leader should have supported officials from Lyulin and Mladost districts who revealed wrongdoing. Petkov tried to protect leadership authority rather than fight corruption.
The expert said each scandal hurts Bulgarian democracy. Corruption cases make voters believe all politicians steal money. Many citizens follow the idea that everyone is dishonest. This creates problems for the country's political development. People lose trust when leaders fail to act properly.
Yordanov believes corruption fights fail when groups create new organizations each time. Citizens must learn to build strong institutions that work correctly. People need to develop good political instincts within themselves. The psychologist called We Continue the Change another failed experiment. Bulgaria needs lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes for political problems.
