The DB party will now have to explain to their electorate how and why they even entered into negotiations with GERB, while CC is facing tough clashes with the judicial authority, which will further weaken them

 It is clear that there will be a government with the first mandate of GERB. Borisov's team managed to do the impossible and bring together GERB, BSP and TISP, supported by MRF of Dogan. I call this configuration a "government of urgent necessity", others define it as a "political Frankenstein". However, all analysts agree on one thing - this is the only possible ruling coalition in this parliament, where no party has a majority for governing. And now that all natural ruling formats have been exhausted, it is time for the unusual.

 In politics, surprises never end. And here comes the question of the opposition. Rosen Zhelyazkov's cabinet will not have a comfortable environment in parliament. There are serious political forces with a strong presence in the opposition: MRF-NOVA BEGINNING, "Revival", CC-DB and MUH.

 In the most unfavorable position are the CC-DB parties, in which internal distrust destroys their unity and which were on the brink of splitting due to DB's desire to join forces with GERB in power. DB will have to explain to their electorate why and how they even entered into negotiations with GERB, while the BB parties are facing heavy clashes with the judicial authority, which will further weaken them.

 After the scandal with Kiril Petkov, who boasted on the radio of having connections in the services and prosecution and promised Petkov that he would not be arrested, this political sect will be exposed. Their only chance to stay afloat in politics is to turn towards solving some problems of the people, so that they can see that there is still some meaning left in their principles.

 Instead, however, "lost in translation," the CC party has once again grabbed onto Peevski as a drowning man clings to a straw, insinuating that he will be pulling the strings of this cabinet. And from this position they are trying to gain political dividends.

 If we look at Peevski's behavior in the past few days, we will see that this time he sharply distanced himself from the future government, calling it a "dirty assembly," and Borisov's partners - "insects, buzzing on the back of GERB." There is no way to find the shadow of Peevski among these "insects." And whoever does so, clearly does not understand either politics or strategic thinking in the long-term processes of the state.

 The government, which will rely on the "golden hand" of Dogan, gives Peevski the "golden chance" to unfold in the opposition, where he will strive for the leadership position. And he will achieve it. Peevski is reactive, informed, aware of the mechanisms of power and the nuances of government, and will closely monitor the actions of the cabinet. Ministers will not have peace from daily remarks, criticisms, and guidance from the leader of MRF-NEW BEGINNING. And CC-DB, instead of trying to compete with him on this terrain, send him to the management, which is complete foolishness. But they can do that.

 And now, for strategic thinking - Peevski realizes that in the current card game, he is not included. And he will be preparing for the next one. Whenever it may be - time will work for the opposition, although we will all be crossing our fingers for the "Zheliazkov" cabinet to succeed in getting us out of the crisis. In this sense, Delyan Peevski will be in competition with Kostadin Kostadinov from "Revial" and Radostin Vassilev from MUH, while parliament will continue to be a battlefield for fierce clashes that will shape the next political configuration in the country.
