Press Review

Headlines like “Who's Who in the New Government” appear in today’s press, which focuses on details about the candidates for ministers in the Borisov 3 Cabinet. Sega writes that "there are no calls for reforms in the Cabinet, but there is a will for finding work for certain individuals - party leaders, figures loyal to Borisov, etc... Several ministers have extremely controversial reputation, and others are absolutely new to the spheres they ought to manage." The newspaper sees behind the government's composition new political engineering, in which the ministries officially given to the nationalists turned out to be led by people close to GERB. The paper adds that Borisov has formed a government of an obscene compromise, in which "an anti-NATO politicians become Minister of Defense, while "the mistake" Tsetska Tsacheva will deal with a judicial reform and Lilyana Pavlova is "punished" to deal with the EU presidency of Bulgaria.


Dnevnik reads about what we could expect from the Borisov 3 Cabinet. According to the paper in his third government, Boyko Borisov will try to act as "guardian of Bulgaria as an island of stability" after having played with his previous governments the roles of " The Builder” and “The Balancer.” The bad news, according to Dnevnik, is that maintaining stability by balancing interests is a weak long-term strategy, and besides stability, Bulgaria needed difficult reforms that require different kind of political leadership. Still, the newspaper expects the new government would take the right positions and would not allow the country to face a crisis caused by external factors like the conflicts around.
