Sofia ANALYSIS Polit-Barometer GEORGI KARASIMEONOV(EDITOR) Year 18, Issue 3 – July-September 2018 n start of the new political season saw ministerial resignations, indicating that a hot political autumn is expected. Events in recent months have shown growing instability in governance, to which ministerial resignations are hardly likely to be the answer. The crisis with the Commercial Register, the bankruptcy of the insurance company„Olym­pic“, and poor-quality road construction are the result of complex problems, which will continue to generate such crises in the future. An accumulation of such scandals can lead to a gradual erosion in the support of the government. n decision of BSP to walk out of parliament, leaving only 20 of its own representa­tives, is contrary to the principles of parliamentarism, but it is a signal that the party‘s election campaign is under way. What is more, Kornelia Ninova openly stated that the party is to prepare for„2 in 1“ elections – on a parliamentary and on a European level. n incessant scandals in the United Patriots are eroding electoral support for the coali­tion and undermining confidence in the government. Although at this stage the leaders are sorting out their contradictions, tension between Volen Siderov and Valeri Simeonov shows that the future of the coalition is in question. With the approach of the elections for the European Parliament, it is not impossible that the coalition will collapse.
