Resignation calls surge, as protests flip Bulgaria’s mood

Pollster Parvan Simeonov from Measure agency told Bulgarian National Radio that public opinion flipped on whether the government should resign, and more people are warming up to snap elections even though neither option hits 50 percent support yet. The research wrapped up right after the second protest, so the numbers would probably look worse if they kept polling. Simeonov said Boyko Borisov is low-key rooting for the protests because he wants activists to kick Delyan Peevski out of the picture, and then GERB can cut a deal with Continue We Change-Democratic Bulgaria when things calm down.

The sociologist thinks protesters need to avoid turning their movement into some kind of policy platform because demonstrations work best when they stay focused on what sucks instead of proposing solutions. Daily protests just burn everyone out, and the whole thing loses impact when it becomes background noise.
