The Bulgarian Constitution is about to fall victim to GERB's tactical political considerations, argues political scientist Daniel Smilov from the Centre for Liberal Strategies. In an interview for the BNR, Smilov said that GERB has a plan about how to remain in power in the next several months.

As Smilov explains, this plan goes through the convening of a Grand National Assembly, and in this case the agreement between the parties is important.

According to Smilov who is an expert in comparative constitutional law, the draft for a new Constitution is quite imperfect and most of its petitioners themselves do not agree with the basic ideas in it.
