Eh. It lasted longer than expected. Maybe the next one will be less of a Frankensteins monster.
>Much of the political debate, however, centers on whether Trifonov is pulling the plug on the government for reasons related to Bulgaria’s powerful oligarchic mafia, who would stand to lose out in Petkov’s promised crackdown against graft. That interpretation has been boosted by a handful of lawmakers from Trifonov’s party, who are now backing Petkov precisely because they say their own party is siding with the mafia. (Trifonov himself retorts that these mafia allegations are absurd.)
Key paragraph imo. Petkov has his shortcomings but if you want a clear sign they’re doing something right, it’s the reaction by all of the stooges on shady payrolls. It was like kicking a bee-hive.
As for Trifonov, he rode the wave of the huge protests and presented himself as an anti-establishment party, only to show he’s at best as corrupt as the rest of them, or at worst a planted agent from that same establishment.
I do not support the Petkov Government and thus fully support this collapse.
In these moments I find it fitting to quote my partner in wit:
