Former Bulgarian minister and longtime Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) figure Georgi Pirinski has warned that the government of President Rumen Radev is increasingly moving toward a model of concentrated, one-party rule, urging the BSP to adopt a clear political position after the cabinet completes its first 100 days.
Pirinski said members of the BSP National Council meeting on August 29 have a responsibility to address three major questions concerning the party's future: its political course, its program and its organizational development.
In an analysis cited by BGNES, Pirinski argued that the government's style of governing is revealing what he described as an increasingly obvious "sustainable course of normalization," which he believes in practice amounts to a self-sufficient one-party government.
He also questioned how major decisions are being made within the executive branch. Referring to comments attributed to an informal government spokesman, Pirinski said the model includes "the unilateral approval of every major decision by the Prime Minister."
In his view, this approach risks approaching the principles set out in Article 1 of Bulgaria's Constitution, which establishes that political power belongs to the people. "A separate party or person cannot appropriate the implementation of people's sovereignty," Pirinski said.
