The GERB party doesn't do any politics or strategic decisions in favour of the nation. Its sole purpose is to keep bureaucracy high and its favoured companies busy by distributing EU funds through "power channels". More bureaucracy means easy money for that same "elite".

There is no party which does politics or strategic decisions in Bulgaria. ALL of the political scene is usurped by ex-intelligence officers and they suffocate any possible alternative in infancy. It is quite depressing and I don't think there is a way out.

You are totally right about the power channels, but the truth is they are focused on the construction sector. The old commies who stand behind this are not that confident when working with IT and that is one of the biggest reasons the law passed. They still don't acknowledge or don't care that it will be harder for them to steal from IT public tenders.
