Bulgarian opposition lawmaker says political crisis imminent amid protests, gov't may fall

Genow, Jul 19 (Sputnik) The ongoing protests in Bulgaria demanding resignation of the government are not likely to abate and may lead to a real political crisis, forcing the government to step down in August or September, Ivo Hristof, member of the Bulgarian parliament, told Sputnik.
Anti-government protests in Bulgaria, mainly its capital Sofia, have been going on for more than a week, with protesters chanting "Mafia out!" and calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and his entire government.
"I think that the situation is going to further deteriorate because neither the government nor the so-called systemic opposition is ready to start a dialogue. So, it will continue. None of the sides wants to give up, so it is likely to end up with a political crisis. It’s a war of attrition," Hristof, who is a parliament member from the so-called civil quota of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), but is not a member of the party, said.
