High probability of a political crisis before the regular parliamentary elections in the spring of 2021 exists. This forecast has been made by Ivan Kostov, Prime Minister of Bulgaria in the period 1997-2001, in an interview with BNR.
According to him, "this crisis would occur as a combination of a health crisis and the inability of hospitals to accept severe cases, an economic crisis and a dangerously low level of trust in government."
A caretaker cabinet would be in a better position than the current government, as expectations from it would be more limited. The task of the caretaker government should be holding fair elections in time, and not dealing with the health and economic crisis without a parliament behind it, Kostov says.
