For a month now, Bulgaria’s Premier Boyko Borissov has chosen a strategy to broadcast news from his jeep via the social networks in order to avoid contact with protesting citizens, political analyst Vasil Garnizov said on occasion of the failed sitting of the Bulgarian National Assembly and Borissov’s absence from Parliament. 

In Vasil Garnizov’s view, there is a systematic underestimation of the institutions in Bulgaria. The Prime Minister wants to remain in strong position in the current situation, Vasil Garnizov commented further. The Prime Minister distributes at his own discretion large public resources collected by the Bulgarian taxpayers in times of Covid-19 pandemic, the analyst said further. “The transparent procedure for allocating these resources goes through amendment of the state budget in Parliament or through any other form of Parliamentary transparency and agreement between the parties on a kind of a rescue package”, Vasil Garnizov said.
