The results of the local elections have shown that there is already a new alliance of convenience - of parties that "support Russia and Putin". These are We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) and Vazrazhdane," GERB leader Boyko Borissov said at a press conference. Both PP-DB and Vazrazhdane were playing against GERB everywhere, he said.

Borissov explained the low turnout by saying that people were tired of hypocrisy.
