Exit poll Bulgaria: surprise vote, success of showman Trifonof: with the populist party he collected the protest vote

by admin

SOFIA. Great surprise to the parliamentarians of today in Bulgaria, with the exploit, according to the first exit polls, of the showman Slavi Trifonov and his newly established populist party «There is a people like this». According to the first data of the Gallup agency, this formation would have placed second behind the conservative party Gerb of the outgoing premier Boyko Borissov, and before the socialists. There is no doubt that “There is a people like this” has received the protest vote of the Bulgarians, intolerant of rampant corruption and ill repute.

Trifonov, 54, about two meters tall, with a shaved head and an always skeptical smile, successfully animated “The Slavs’ show” for some years on the private TV channel BTV, in which, in addition to scandalous scenes, he criticized outright the Bulgarian rulers. Subsequently in 2019 he set up his own channel, ‘7/8 TV’, through which he carried out the electoral campaign. Slavi Trifonov entered politics in 2016 with the movement “There is no country like this”. In the same year he organized a referendum to promote the majority electoral system, make voting compulsory and minimize state subsidies to parties. For now, it remains unknown what the first steps of the deputies of Trifonov’s new party will be in the new parliament.
