2/3 of Bulgarians Pessimistic about Country's Future - Survey

67% of Bulgarians are pessimistic about the development of their country, against only 17% optimists, according to the most recent Gallup International poll.

However, the agency recalls that similar levels of pessimism were recorded throughout 2013, and are to be interpreted as connected with the perception of a permanent political crisis in the country.

Attitudes towards the political situation and individual actors have not changed significantly, with the numbers "pro" and "contra" decisive issues very close.

According to the survey 40% of Bulgarians believe that anti-cabinet protests must continue, and another 40% believe that they must stop.

50% are skeptical regarding the protests' results.

People's trust in institutions remains traditionally low, with trust in the cabinet around 33%, while disaproval around 60%, a number that has not grown significantly.

At the same time, a separate poll by Alpha Research has registered an increase of approval for PM Plamen Oresharski for the first time since August 2013.
