Four years ago, I proposed to one of the famous sociologists in our country the thesis that the euro would play a key role in the expected process of political realignment. It would become the main catalyst for establishing the new division between sovereignist and globalist forces, it would separate the new right from the new left, it would unite us...

(For a more detailed analysis of how Trump’s policies affect the price of gold, read this article) To be able to effectively fight your enemies, the first step is to understand them. To be able to effectively work with your allies – the same. No matter whether we perceive the United States of America on …
More »What happens in parliament – explained by the Realignment
The concentration of seven consecutive elections and the record failure in the vote for president require a short correspondence with structuralist analysis. To refresh the memory. At the heart of the political crisis lies the combination of two faults (cleavage - for political scientists from the NBU and the Faculty of Philosophy), represented through the party groups in the National Assembly. The first is ...

GERB is swallowing PP-DB like a boa constrictor – bite by bite – Kostadin Kostadinov flowerily expressed himself during the unfortunate negotiations for the rotation of the assembly. Pointing us to a half-forgotten trope from the coalition past of Boris’s party stating that whoever governs with GERB remains a historical footnote – Reformist Bloc, …

Populism, nationalism or anti-globalism – names of the new political movement emerging in a majority of European countries. Part of Steve Davis’s great realignment[1], which cyclically changes the main dividing line in Western democratic societies. New left and right, changed content of the political center, debate shifted along a different axis from the previous one. The views …
More »The theory of political realignment with another prognostic triumph
Our previous text[1] on the issue of reshuffle showed the way out of the so-called political crisis in the country. The way to overcome the difficulties in forming a stable, coherent government. At that time we wrote: “It is increasingly clear that the conflict that led to the beginning of the current phase of the political cycle is fading away, far from the focus of public …
More »How will the political crisis be resolved?
It is increasingly clear that the conflict that led to the beginning of the current phase of the political cycle[1] is fading away, far from the focus of public attention. Removing Borisov is no longer a priority, and the coalition assembled for this purpose has disintegrated. The Borisov glue, as I have called it, is increasingly less relevant because of (i) its ritualistic …

Bulgarian sociologists have discovered the political realignment[1]…at least in France. In Friday’s Panorama on April 15, Boryana Dimitrova (Alpha Research) practiced explaining how strange it is that the two largest parties in the country of baguettes are respectively globalists (Macron) and anti-globalists (Le Pen). She even dared to use the correct …
More »Inflation fuels realignment and expands the Russian model of capitalism in our country
The historical realignment[1] in the political philosophies of parties across the Atlantic and in Europe is in full swing – hawkish socialists against Russia, pacifist and isolationist conservatives, right-wing protectionists and left-wing defenders of free trade and international agreements, modern left-liberals against local heavy industry and covering up blue-collar unionists and modern right-wingers in …
More »The reshuffle after the arrests in Bankya and the GERB glue
Boyko Borisov and his power apparatus are the main obstacle to the ongoing processes of political realignment in Bulgaria[1]. For and against the Gerbadzhi domination is our, local division, which even today manages to unite in one camp forces with opposite attitudes to the new main dividing line in countries with a Western-style policy …
