On Friday major Bulgarian newspapers devote extensive articles to the start of the election campaign in Bulgaria. "Trud" points out that this time in the race for 240 seats in parliament, a total of 4732 people compete, which means there are 12 contenders for a seat. The paper also points out that the rules require from MP candidates and their supporters to observe good manners, while print and electronic media must denote whether reportages aired are paid. The rules have been agreed by parties, coalitions and initiative committees.
"Dnevnik" writes that media appearances began weeks ago and often led to attacks between opponents. There have been a number of cases of BSP giving a press conference criticizing the management of the second cabinet of Boyko Borissov, while the GERB party got used to calling a press-conference minutes or hours later to respond. Or vice versa - GERB criticized the election platform of the BSP, and then the socialists rejected the criticism. However, "Dnevnik" points out that the most active in calling press conferences was GERB and since the beginning of February it has conducted at least 8 such press conferences.
"Monitor" pays attention that in comparison to previous years now parties open their election campaigns with relatively modest events. The largest formation GERB will have a national forum but will hold regional events instead. The campaign of nationalists from the "United Patriots" will not be opened by a large event. Rightist Reformist Bloc will open its campaign in Sofia on Monday as the program will be modest. The campaign of the BSP in Sofia will start Saturday in Inter Expo Center, while in Pleven there will be a theatrical performance in the local theatre. The campaign of DPS is expected to be launched in Veliko Tarnovo.
