The Spin

Narrative A

Borissov and his coalition have multiple options to form a government in Bulgaria, including seeking coalition with either the WCC-DB or the fourth-placed DPS-New Beginning to form a minority government. This course of action however, wouldn't solve the issue that any potential government would continue to be as unstable as those which have precedent it.

Narrative B

There's only one way out of this political crisis — GERB working together with the reformist WCC-DB in a pro-EU coalition while sidelining Delyan Peevski, the figure responsible for the deadlock. Despite Peevski's influence, efforts must be made to unravel him and his disruptive influence from the centre of Bulgarian politics.
