SOFIA: Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's centre-right party came first in the weekend's parliamentary elections, partial results showed on Monday , but with protest parties surging it has no clear partner to form a governing coalition.

The traditional main opposition Socialist party received a mere 14.9 per cent, its lowest number in the Balkan country's post-communist history. They are the right-wing Democratic Bulgaria coalition, which won around 10 per cent of the vote, while new leftist coalition Stand up! Mafia out! - which is close to President Rumen Radev, a sharp critic of Borisov - took nearly five per cent.

The OSCE also complained of"lack of editorial diversity" in the media, with Bulgaria standing 111th in Reporters Without Borders' global press freedom ranking.

Just the tip of the iceberg .... But they have retained one province where they were ruling already and also won one extra province. Their vote share too has increased in several other provinces. If you are seeing these elections as referendum on covid it would disappoint you. Feel sorry for the people in India. The arrogance and ignorance of Modi goes far beyond that of Trump. He has brought a disaster to his people and deserves to be dumped.
