“The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) is not an alternative to Boyko Borisov but to the policy of his second cabinet, which is ruining Bulgaria,” said Mihail Mikov, Chairperson of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), speaking for the Bulgarian National Television.
Mr Mikov remarked that for 125 years the BSP had been a major political factor in Bulgaria.
“BSP is the opposition to the policy that does not provide a deserving life for the Bulgarian people,” the politician said.
Mr Mikov commented further that the tension in the ruling coalition made the government of the country more and more unstable. 
The socialist leader added that Bulgaria was not governed according to the supremacy of the law but according to the whims of Prime Minister Boyko Borisov. 
“It is bad when certain adopted legislation is then rejected or blocked,” Mihail Mikov remarked and gave several examples, such as the suspended public procurements, the transfer of social insurance funds to the National Social Security Institute (NSSI), the amendments to the tourism act concerning the camping, and others.
“Bulgarian society may win, if the government course is changed, as the current one pushes the country to a blind alley,” said Mihail Mikov.
“We want the country to have a good government, too, a government that will bring better life for the people. 
In a year and a half the BSP Left Bulgaria established a position of the only real opposition. This is seen in the way we vote,” Mr Mikov remarked, adding that the role of the opposition was to provide an alternative.
