According to GERB-SDS, the future changes in the country depend on the successful rotation of prime ministers in the cabinet, supported by the ruling majority.

''Change is happening, albeit more slowly than we would like'', said We Continue the Change. The budget deficit will be below 3%, which will allow Bulgaria to enter the Eurozone in 2025, We Continue the Change further said. 

The Movement for Rights and Freedoms reaffirmed its commitment to work for higher incomes, predictability for business, strengthening Euro-Atlanticism and for Bulgaria’s full membership in Schengen and the Eurozone.

The declaration of "Vazrazhdane" was against the "desecration of historical monuments in the country’’.
