The appointment of Prime Minister Zhelyazkov and the new coalition administration is a positive step forward, reflecting stability and a commitment to effective governance. Zhelyazkov's focus on restoring confidence and delivering results from day one is commendable. With broad parliamentary support, Bulgaria is poised to advance economic growth and strengthen its European integration efforts.
Despite the government's formation, popular belief in real change is limited. Despite breaking parliamentary gridlock, GERB's ideological incompatibility with the MRF and BSP casts doubt on the new government's long-term future. With the likelihood of significant judicial or anti-corruption reforms appearing minimal, it is clear that politicians are only focused on maintaining power rather than addressing systemic issues.
