Boyko Borisov

I recently spoke with a friend. Like every other conversation over the past few weeks, this one came down to discussing the protests. Even though I knew that with her profession and workplace (which is why I can't mention her by name), I asked her for her opinion on the topic. The answer …

Daniela Daritkova has probably had more pleasant Friday nights than last night. The chairwoman of the GERB parliamentary group was locked up for hours at BNT after her appearance on Panorama. In her appearance, she called for dialogue with the protesters, but a little later it turned out that there was a considerable gap between words and actions.

Author: Dimitar Pehlivanov Three main directions can be outlined that caused the current social crisis, which is about to become political.

Author: Georgi Georgiev I will allow myself to make a "translated on air" of Borisov's "thoughts out loud" from yesterday. 1. He loves the state, he does not want it to collapse out of stupidity. Let it be understood: those in the square do not love the state and aim for destruction. This ...

Today, all media outlets exploded with the news that the leader of the Women GERB party and former regional governor of Pernik, Irena Sokolova, was arrested during a raid by the prosecutor's office in connection with the water crisis in the city.

Many analysts, both well-intentioned towards his governments and opposition-minded, recognize his political acumen.
