At the said parliamentary elections PP LIDER marked its greatest success and appointed five MPs to the parliament.

Book

In 2013 Hristo Kovachki released his first book to date entitled Universal order - theory of cognition. The book concerns a multitude of issues, starting with universal order, passing through biblical order, as the focus dwells on the theory of cognition and its various manifestations. The statement section formulates and discusses in detail the seven fundamental principles of cognition theory:

  • First principle: The process of cognition is creative, positive, free and infinite;
  • Second principle: The process of cognition is based on a reasonable form of existence of matter - reasonable individuals. The process of cognition is more powerful when this reasonable form of matter exists in harmony;
  • Third principle: The more actively an individual participates in the cognition process, the higher form he will attain, both within society and within the entire civilization;
  • Fourth principle: The greater the number of individuals is, the more intensified the cognition process will be.
  • Fifth principle: The cognition process is based on reasonable forms of matter, which are reproducible.
  • Sixth principle: The cognition process is a self-regulating process.
  • Seventh principle: The cognition process is an evolutionary process.[3]

Two corollaries are also inferred from these seven principles:

  • The cognition process underlies the foundation of generating the social product. The more stimulated the cognition process is, the greater the social product will be.
  • The social product produced by society should be distributed on a fair (prorated) basis among the members of this society in accordance with their participation in the cognition process.[3]
