The "Magnitsky" sanctions suggest that a stable Euro-Atlantic formula will have to be sought after the elections.

This was explained to BNR by Parvan Simeonov, executive director of Gallup International.

If the elections were held today, the two main coalitions - PP-DB and GERB-SDS, would practically have equal results. This is indicated by the results of the independent monthly research of "Gallup International Balkan", conducted between 02.02 and 02.12.2023.

808 people participated in it.

Five formations would certainly enter the National Assembly - DPS, Vazrazhdane, BSP and VMRO-Bulgarian Rise.

Two parties are close to the 4 percent threshold.

The study did not fully capture the potential effects of the "Magnitsky" sanctions, Parvan Simeonov pointed out in the program "Horizon za vas".

At the moment, the PP and DB coalition has more reserves, he pointed out.

"That's why they have something of a symbolic lead.

It remains to be seen whether PP-DB will be able to add something like support, or whether there will be people who will prefer another formation.

However, this space shows a mobilization towards the end'

Their main opponents from GERB-SDS have every reason to expect more stable support, Parvan Simeonov reported.

Gallup: PP-DB would lead GERB-SDS by 1% if the elections were held now

BSP have results that are not enviable.

It remains to be seen how the dramas will affect the party.

It is also important to see what effect the referendum signatures will have, he said.

Paper voting should also be taken into account as a factor, Simeonov pointed out.
