GERB's top brass is heavily Communist. Communists fighting against Communism will spell the end of Bulgaria.
Professor Ivo Hristov, an MP for the BSP
GERB is the only party that can handle corruption.
The result is known: Boyko Borisov won the 26 March snap election which he himself had called in late in 2016, causing a political crisis, prolonged and acrimonious public debate, and increased expenditure for taxpayers. His party, GERB, garnered over 33 percent of the vote, thus becoming the largest party in parliament. Second is Borisov’s "arch enemy," the BSP, or Bulgarian Socialist Party.
At this moment they are trying to impose on us a false 'collision' between the grandsons of the Communist Politburo and the grandsons of the drivers of the Politburo, who after the elections will make a big, pilfering coalition.
Radan Kanev, leader of New Republic, on BSP and GERB

Like so many other things in Bulgaria since 2009, it all started with the inimitable mixture of populism and demagoguery of this country's outgoing prime minister, Boyko Borisov. The current political crisis has its roots in Borisov's threat to resign in case his handpicked nominee for president, Tsetska Tsacheva, failed to win. Which she did in the November ballot, by an unprecedented margin in Bulgaria's presidential elections since the fall of Communism.
The migrants' pressure on the Bulgarian borders seriously weakens our nation's reproductive capabilities.

Who can you elect for parliament? The patriots, who are not patriots; the party of rednecks; or the left wing, who are actually rightwing?
Professor Velislav Minekov
While he was in his heyday, Bulgaria's prime minister, Boyko Borisov, used to deride learned men and women by calling them "the guys wearing spectacles." Notoriously, he used to boast that in his lifetime he had read only one book, a Western story entitled Winnetou and written by a 19th century German writer, Karl May. He also used to woo workers protesting over their unpaid wages by assuring them that they were "simple folk" and because he himself was a "simple man" they would get together well.
