As a TLDR, after years of failed opposition parties, the general public desire to go out and vote plummeted. This led to minority and grifter parties having an easier time snatching a bigger share of the parliament, since their votes are few, yet hardcore.

Which then resulted in some extremely volitale parliaments, even more fragmented "opposition" parties and 0 actual work done.

8 total elections later, the leading corrupted party finally did a big enough oopsie for the people to stand up and overthrow them themselves. The approval ratings of every (even the main opposition party) went to the gutter, and a huge power vacuum opened for a "new" party. The president saw that opening, resigned early, opened a party coalition last second and we know the rest.

As much as I'd like to paint him as a potential Trojan horse like Orban, we just don't know. He spent majority of his political career as president in empty populist talks, slight rusophile stances and casual corruption condemnation. But that's all. We simply don't know how he'll act, what he'll pass once he has real governing power.

All we can judge from is the ministers he's gathered. A lot of them are ex-main corrupt party members and oligarhs, so there goes the anti-corruption slogan. He pretends to be a centrist pacifist with pro-EU integration in mind, but he's famously linked to a scandalous gas deal with Russia [Botash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bulgaria/comments/1n7pqko/някой_може_ли_да_обясни_случая_за_договора_за_газ/?tl=en) which is losing us billions a year..

All we can do is wait and see. But at least the people learnt again that protests DO work, so if we see him doing his Fico/Orban impression, I hope they're ready for some more.
