Slavi Trifonov, leader of There Is Such a People party, criticized GERB’s intention to submit a bill in parliament for changing the electoral system from proportional representation to a majority voting system.
“Why didn’t GERB endorse the majority voting system almost 5 years ago when they had the power to do so and when, at a legitimate referendum almost 2.5 million Bulgarian citizens voted in favour of a majority voting system? The answer is very simple – when they face the problem of losing power, these people play for time,” Slavi Trifonov writes on Facebook. GERB is a toxic party, he goes on, and it is not going to get the time it wants. Slavi Trifonov points out that it will take a trouble-free and stable parliament for a majority voting system to be put in place so that the technological questions connected with it can be resolved.
A referendum on the introduction of a majority voting system in the country was held in 2016 initiated by Slavi Trifonov.
