Trend: Three Bulgarian parties will be represented in EP

A study of the Trend Research Center in January shows that in the next European Parliament Bulgaria will be represented by three parties. These are GERB /18.3%/, BSP /17.1%/ and DPS /6.9%/. The difference between the first two parties remains minimal (1.2%) in favor of GERB, followed by the BSP. By contrast, the distance between the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and United Patriots is increasing, which in January is almost double in favor of the DPS, Trend said.

So far, the "Patriots" (IMRO, Ataka and NFFS) remain below the election threshold of 3.5 per cent. 39% of respondents say they have firmly decided for which party coalition they woul vote in the European Parliament elections, while 30% have not yet decided.
