site.btaMagnus Ohman: Failure to Form a Government is a Risk in Democratic Societies

Dr. Magnus Ohman, senior adviser on political finance at the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) who is on a visit to Bulgaria at the invitation of the Bulgarian Institute for Legal Initiatives in connection with the implementation of the international project Effective Combat Against Corruption, said in a BTA interview that failure to form a government is a risk in democratic societies. But even with this risk, democratic systems are far more preferable to autocratic systems, which may be stable in the short term but in which the people have no say in how the country is run, he added. в
