The day after the new Bulgarian government stepped into office, the press pays special attention to the new figures in the executive power and their first actions. Standard newspaper offers its readers an interview with Parvan Simeonov from the Gallup International agency, in which the sociologist shares some interesting observations. According to him, Bulgaria has received a "cabinet of lessons learned", representing a "soft Orban cocktail”. It appears that it was aimed the United Patriots to be in power without this being too obvious by appointing figures who are also close to GERB. In fact, the Borisov 3 cabinet is not surprising, and it is understandable that all the lessons of the past government have been learned.The sociologist sees as a particularly interesting appointment, that of VMRO leader Krassimir Karakachanov as minister of defense, because this shows that the nationalist has established himself as an acceptable politician to the West. A strong impression to Parvan Simeonov has also made the appointment of Foreign Minister Ekaterina Zaharieva, which can be seen as some kind of a message to the right, pro-western and mostly Atlantic camp in Bulgaria. The sociologist sees also a hint to the old right in the appointment of Minister of Ecology Neno Dimov, who shares conservative views similar to those of Viktor Orban and opposes liberal views expressed by some green movements, for example. In the Borissov 3 Cabinet there is no leftist component but according to the sociologist, such a role is played by the promises for raising pensions. According to Parvan Simeonov, the cabinet may hold a full mandate for several reasons. First because people were tired of political instability. Secondly, because the national, conservative, nationalist and traditionalist views are in fashion throughout Europe, including Bulgaria. The United Patriots see the situation as "When, if not now?" They are unlikely to start shaking the boat they officially boarded for the first time, while GERB will hardly want to withdraw from power for the third time.
