Of the 1,027 socialists who voted in Plovdiv, Cornelia Ninova got 856 votes to just 95 for her main opponent, Kiril Dobrev. This means 83 percent support for Ninova in the city, where the BSP leader is Georgi Gergov. The situation is similar in the area where Guergov had stronger positions.

The result in Plovdiv was a catastrophe for Gergov with irreversible consequences. The red oligarch did everything possible to oppose the direct election of the president of the BSP and the election of Cornelia Ninova. Calls for a boycott did not help, as did the illusory idea that by maintaining party leadership in the city and in the region, he too had ordinary socialists. It was the regular party members who supported Ninova and defeated Gergov.

“The Plovdiv organization has enormous untapped potential for the success of the BSP and the city. The direct election is an opportunity to show the strength of the regular members that are the party,” Ninova said days before the day of the elections. And this is exactly what happened: they showed that the BSP in Plovdiv and the district has nothing to do with Gergov.

The end of the Guergov policy was predicted. Four BSP lawmakers asked him to distance himself from the party. For the first time, MPs from Plovdiv and the region publicly criticized. At the same time, Comrade Gergov was buying legitimacy. He made a donation for a laboratory in Plovdiv, went to its inauguration, and was thanked by Mayor Zdravko Dimitrov for the gesture. An ugly and hypocritical scenario, he, like Gergov, owes much more to the municipality after 13 years of partnership in the joint venture “Puldin Turinvest”, through which the oligarch took home the Fair and did not pay a penny .

The party cheater also confirmed his long-term power in organizing the city, which failed to dethrone him at his election conference. The ranks of delegates were thoroughly cleared and the choice seemed warned.

But Election Day also turned out to be a day of reckoning. The spiel is over. Those who rigged the city conference now seem complete idiots in the eyes of most socialists in Plovdiv and the region who elected Ninova over Gergov.

The loss of the oligarch is overwhelming. With this denouement, their threats that heads will fall with bad results sound pretty stupid. Whose heads are they? Political logic shows that there is a head that falls and has fallen. If Gergov thinks otherwise, it means that he has not understood the most important thing: the socialists blame him, of whom he is the leader of the party. But the result of the direct election as president of the BSP is clear: Gergov is the head of only a handful of party activists who live around him, she as deputies, she as municipal councilors.

It is not so important whether Gergov will resign as municipal and regional leader after being crushed by the party train. The vote of the voters is important and put Gergov in the party closet. If you sit there and pretend to be important it is a matter of dignity. Guergov put an end to the important affairs of the party.
