Presenting the structure of the new cabinet, Prime Minister-designate Kiril Petkov pointed out that on Monday, together with the candidates for ministers, he would come to the National Assembly for the vote of this government, hoping to spend four years together, under the motto "zero tolerance for corruption".

The most important task of the future government is to stop the rise in the price of electricity. Kiril Petkov also pointed out that the efforts of the coalition partners should be directed "entirely for the benefit of Bulgarian citizens." According to Petkov, the number of ministries is rising, but the number of civil servants remains the same.
