The reason for the overthrow of Kiril Petkov's government was neither North Macedonia nor financial and economic collapse.

Perhaps the real explanation lies in the attempt to return to negotiations with Gazprom.

This is visible even now.

The attempt will probably be unsuccessful, but it united all those who wanted the "Petkov" cabinet to fall.

This was commented to the BNR by the political scientist Assoc. Daniel Smilov, teacher and program director of the Center for Liberal Strategies.

According to him, part of the tasks of politicians is to participate in elections, some of them even intentionally provoke them.

If anyone is tired of the fourth vote in a year and a half, it is the voters.

Again, quite a few parties and coalitions are involved (29) and the future parliament is expected to be fragmented.

According to recent surveys, at least 6 parties have a real chance of entering the National Assembly.

"Trend": 6+2 parties in the new parliament, fight for third place

"On the one hand, there are those who claim that the current situation is catastrophic, the management of the previous government has led to very serious problems. I would put the anti-system party "Vazrazhdane" in this category, GERB is betting on a negative campaign

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in. We see Borisov in a relatively unknown role - frowning, dissatisfied, constantly criticizing the previous rulers.

Obviously, this will be the tone and spirit of GERB's campaign

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in," said Prof. Smilov.

According to him, other parties are more moderate in their criticism.

"Democratic Bulgaria" and "We continue the change

Kiril Petkov and Asen Vassilev presented their political project "We continue the change"" this time they cannot concentrate their campaign only with criticism of the "Borisov" model: "At the moment, citizens have reason to worry about inflation, for example.

These political formations must convince the voters that they could lead the country out of the crises".

According to him, despite the opening of the scissors between the first parties in recent sociological surveys, the distance between GERB

GERB is a center-right populist, conservative and pro-European political party in and the second PP is surmountable.

BSP is in a difficult situation.

The Reds are in danger of being overtaken by "Vazrazhdane".

With such real political problems, removing the subject of the referendum from ITN is hardly the best move, but rather an attempt to win a few more votes to reach the cherished 4% mark to enter the parliament, Prof. Daniel also said Smilov.
