Sociologists Evelina Slavkova and Parvan Simeonov say Bulgarian protesters are ready to keep hitting the streets if politicians keep screwing around, and everything hinges on whether President Rumen Radev launches his political project. Simeonov figures Borisov will blame protesters for any euro drama while trying to stay relevant for future coalition deals, and Radev could become the main winner if he actually jumps into the race alongside PP-DB.
Trust in elections tanked hard after the Constitutional Court messed with results back in March, dropping to just 16 percent. Slavkova thinks the same tired parties running again will produce the same garbage results, but a Radev candidacy might actually get people excited enough to vote since fresh faces always boost turnout compared to recycled establishment types.
