“There is no motive for holding early elections but there will be changes,” commented Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev. 

“The vote was rejected, not because of any parliamentary arithmetic but because of political logics. There is no use in having early elections in winter. The government still has a lot of work to do to cope with the health, social and economic consequences of the epidemic and to prepare the documents for access to the EU financing. Another major task is organizing machine voting and vote-by-mail. If there is something I regret it is that there is no format at the moment for talks with the protesters. I would very much like to find one,” Tomislav Donchev said.
