Toadies could be Borisov's ruin

The Bulgarian centre-right party Gerb led by Prime Minister Boyko Borisov won the second round of the presidential and regional elections last Sunday with a clear majority. The authoritarian Borisov is now at the levers of power, writes the daily Standart, but too much support could also be his downfall, the paper warns: "Borisov has achieved something that no one before him has ever done before. But there is something that could tarnish his image and demolish all his efforts, even making them appear absurd: the overzealousness of those who claim to love him and whose blind love for him even prompts them to name him 'honorary artist', for example. The toadying of the Bulgarians has already been the ruin of a good few worthy people with good intentions. For the greater their power and their royal crowns are, the more pronounced a crucial disadvantage becomes: there is no one to tell the emperor that he's naked."
