The former leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and member of the 50th National Assembly, Korneliya Ninova, has described the situation in the country as a collapse of the state. 


According to Ninova, the inability to form a cabinet is a sign of a dysfunctional executive. According to Ninova, it is not clear what will happen with the second mandate, and "the third is usually not taken seriously". 


She predicts that voter turnout will be even lower in any early elections, and therefore it is possible that even more political formations will enter parliament, making it even more fragmented. According to Ninova, there are two ways out of the situation: a sharp increase in voter turnout, or nonpartisan rationality and the formation of an expert government with reasonable compromises.
