"New Left" in Bulgaria?

[John Mage]

Would Elena or our new lboster from bg tell us what's up with the "New
Left" coalition of the Socialist party with - according to this Reuters
dispatch http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/world/international-bulgari.html
- "three small social-democratic parties"?  Did the split within the
Socialist party get healed?  What chance of a nationwide successful
anti-neoliberal backlash in the spring elections?
