Criticism
Another issue which is ever more looming and is being discussed by the commentators is Mr Dimitrov’s personal style. At the beginning he came across as a young expert with good reputation and therefore fared well with the public. There are signs though that Dimitrov is lacking the charisma and communication abilities which could make him a more serious political player. On a basic level even his haircut, it is being pointed out, that it is reminiscent of the unpopular geek at school who might become good in his future profession but is no way near to ever being able to lead people, because people look not just for expertise but personality as well. His language is often archaic like if he is talking to his eldest sympathisers or patronising little children. An example we see in the line of:” DPS and BSP have made a lot of naughty things, they are bad people”. Talking with clichés is a very weak part of his way to communicate and certainly that needs to be changed if he wants to strike a better cord with the electorate, some commentators say. His supporters on another hand say that he is young and inexperienced and in a couple of years his style should be markedly better and he deserves the benefit of the doubt because his main qualities are indispensably important and these are: no negative burden from the past, professional expertise and unquestionable moral standing, which is a true rarity in Bulgarian politics.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
