  • A Game of Polls: Bulgaria's Presidential Election Threatens To
    A game of polls: Bulgaria’s presidential election threatens to shake up the country’s party system blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/10/31/game-of-polls-bulgaria-presidential-election/ 31/10/2016 Bulgaria will hold presidential elections on 6 November, with a second round runoff scheduled for 13 November. Dimitar Bechev previews the contest, writing that the candidate supported by the country’s largest party, GERB, could face a tougher contest than originally anticipated. Presidential elections in Bulgaria are supposed to be a rather dull affair. Many expected the candidate handpicked by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov to make it comfortably to the second round (to be held on 13 November), piggybacking on their patron’s popularity as well as the ruling party GERB’s (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria) formidable electoral machine. To Borisov’s chagrin, that now seems less and less likely. Polls suggest that the race between his choice, parliament speaker Tsetska Tsacheva, and General Rumen Radev, backed by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), will be tight. Not quite the suspense of the U.S. presidential contest, but certainly not lacking in drama either. And, to boot, the opposition frontrunner might actually have a fair chance. He could well rally the votes cast for United Patriots, an ultra-nationalist coalition between erstwhile sworn enemies the Patriotic Front and Ataka, for ABV (Alternative for Bulgarian Renaissance), a splinter group from the BSP, and several other minor players. Borisov has only himself to blame for this state of affairs. He delayed his choice as much as possible, unveiling Tsacheva at the very last moment – well after other contenders had stepped into the fray.

You see a virologist dressed up in protective gear like Dustin Hofman in “Outbreak,” and a running caption: Ebola in Bulgaria*. Chief expert on Viruses in the Sofia Military Hospital professor Kamen Plochev speaking in front of TV cameras at the moment the ebola-suspected patient was hospitalized. I got a tad panicked, to be honest, but by the time I got to increasing the volume with the remote, the news pro- gram had moved on to another item. Since there were no current events shows on any of the other channels, I went online in search of information. This turned out to be a heart-attack-inducing mistake, because Bulgaria’s news sites have the tendency to exaggerate every bit of suspicion into a near-Apocalyspe. A half-maybe uttered in some ministry becomes “certain to happen;” every random word by a low-level bureucrat is treated as “official statement.” This is the end of journalism as we know it, since Bulgaria’s online and even mainstream media seem to have forgotten some of the cardinal rules of reporting.
