Noting that we are sending off a difficult year, the Bulgarian politicians expressed hope to the BNR that the next one will be better. Reporter Maria Filema tells about what their hopes are. 

"The cascade of elections must stop," Daniel Mitov from GERB believes. 
"These are the birth pangs of a cleaner and more productive democracy for all of us," explained Daniel Laurer from "We Continue the Change". 

The recipe for solving the problems from Hristo Ivanov from "Democratic Bulgaria": "The faster we learn our lessons and understand that it will not get easier, the faster we will be able to solve the national tasks". 

The hopes of the leader of "Vazrazhdane" Kostadin Kostadinov: "I hope that in the new year 2023 we will be able to put the governance of Bulgaria on completely new tracks with the Bulgarian national interest in the first place".

The wishes of Georgi Gyokov from the BSP: "Perhaps a more serious political stability that would lead to economic stability and an increase in people's incomes". 

Halil Letifov from MRF expressed hope that "crises will be solved one by one". 

"There is hope. The more important question is whether there will be wisdom and reason for the statesmanship approach," concluded Alexander Nikolov from "Bulgarian Rise".
