Bulgaria's parliament is gearing up for another no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov's cabinet while protesters keep building momentum in the streets. Political analyst Anton Kutev told bTV that Delyan Peevski's power grab is what set everything off, since the guy polls at like 2% but acts like he runs the place. Prof. Rosen Stoyanov pointed out that the young crowd marching around might not realize they're still outnumbered by older voters who actually show up to elections.
Kutev thinks the government is toast no matter what Boyko Borisov tries to pull, and the street energy isn't going away anytime soon. Associate Professor Georgi Lozanov said younger Bulgarians can't wrap their heads around how someone sanctioned for corruption by Western democracies still holds major power. The Continue We Change-Democratic Bulgaria coalition will probably benefit more than President Radev when this whole mess shakes out.
