“This parliament is like quicksand – war in the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, a split Bulgarian Socialist Party, Velichine falling apart,” said former PM Nikolay Denkov, chair of the parliamentary group of We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB), and went on to announce that We Continue the Change and Democratic Bulgaria have drawn up a plan which aims to get the maximum out of this difficult situation, and that this plan would be made public in the coming days. According to Nikolay Denkov, however, any attempts to form a stable government would be a complete illusion.
Former Deputy PM and Finance Minister from We Continue the Change Assen Vassilev also made a comment before the start of today’s We Continue the Change National Council meeting discussing the second mandate for the formation of a cabinet. There is no pro-European and anti-corruption majority in parliament, Assen Vassilev said, that is why it is not possible to form a government that will lead Bulgaria towards Europe and more stable incomes.
President Rumen Radev will hand the second exploratory mandate for the formation of a cabinet to PP/DB after 17 MPs from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms left the party’s parliamentary group, and from second political force in parliament, it dropped down to 4th position.
