Borisov Set to Leave the Front Stage after Bulgarian Elections
Description
With the latest news that Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov will not take a seat in the next parliament and is prepared to put another name forward as designate to form the next cabinet, the recent elections have thrown Bulgarian politics into disarray. While the ruling party GERB came first in the vote it fell short of a resounding victory and obvious coalition partners. Bulgarians have also shown a rejection of establishment parties, favouring new faces and movements. With our Editor-at-Large Galan Dall, we discuss the electoral outcome and possible scenarios. Visegrad Insight Fellow Asya Metodieva provides her analysis about the role of protest votes and the changing political scene in Bulgaria.
