"We have an orange card against the political class during these elections. This does not look like a political crisis, but a crisis of democracy". This is what Parvan Simeonov, executive director of Gallup International Balkan, told BNR about the results of the extraordinary parliamentary elections on June 9.
"GERB-SDS clearly won the elections", he said and added that the fight for the second, third and fourth place would be decided in the end. According to the sociologist, the fact that more than 3% voted with "I do not support anyone" means a decrease in interest in politics and a search for protest. "There is an anti-Western protest. Not exactly a protest against the West, but a protest against the way we describe and present the West... Protest sentiments are growing. This opens up a niche for a new, big player in the presidency," Parvanov also said.
