The presidential republic in Bulgaria is unattainable.

This opinion was expressed in "Speak Now" by the president from 2002 to 2012, Georgi Parvanov

Georgi Sedefchov Parvanov was the president of Bulgaria in the period 2002-2011. In 2002, he joined the

According to him, this idea is not supported by the head of state himself, but rather by those around him - political scientists and sociologists.

"First of all, it can't happen - I can't imagine how the BSP and DPS will vote for a presidential republic, and the DB insists that the president be elected by the parliament. Even if it happens, it won't be more efficient than the current model. It was a time when the parliamentary republic in Bulgaria functioned quite normally."

We are witnessing such hatred and aggression in the government, the likes of which I have never seen, and I am a contemporary of the entire transition, he also pointed out.

"I would be happy if the leaders of the parties would at least say good day to each other, because I have the feeling that even this is absent in their communication. The scandals are very serious and this affects a lot - probably also the MPs themselves, but to a much greater extent voters. When they see all that, there's no way we can get them to go to the polls or have anything to do with politics."

Rumen Radev and I have a different style - I never allowed an interim government to be formed, but I cannot interfere with it, commented Parvanov.

"In any case, the president has a great responsibility to make things happen well, to create a working government, because four caretaker governments means four failed mandates. Now we may be heading for a fifth. This speaks of a weak political culture."

According to him, the so-called political elite - all people in the institutions, whether it is the parliament, the presidency or the government, must take responsibility for their actions.

Parvanov has always been critical of the bipolar party model, since the beginning of the transition, but commented that he does not accept the multipolar model of recent years, because it is based on the principle of "everyone against everyone".

"That's why things don't work out at all. I don't know what needs to happen to change the moods and attitudes. Perhaps the first condition is for real, good, agreeable leaders in the good sense of the word to come, who can understand each other. Until then - elections to the hole," he said.

How many mandates have the Bulgarian presidents handed out so far?

Georgi Sedefchov Parvanov was the president of Bulgaria in the period 2002-2011. In 2002, he commented that the situation in the country during his mandates was relatively good:

"I myself have been critical of the Triple Coalition, but still let me tell you that working with the king, with Ahmed Dogan, created many positive opportunities. In the end, if we rewind the tape, we have not had a more successful government than the Triple coalition, despite the criticism I accept," he stated.
