The discrepancies in the United Patriots coalition have been overcome and the coalition is stable, the leader of Ataka party and Chairman of the United Patriots Parliamentary group Volen Siderov said after the meeting of the coalition council. Premier Boyko Borissov will announce the name of the new Deputy Premier who will replace the outgoing Deputy Prime Minister Valeri Simeonov (leader of NFSB and co-chairman of the United Patriots), Volen Siderov also said.

Last Friday Valeri Simeonov resigned nearly one month after the start of the protests of mothers with children with disabilities who were insulted by Simeonov’s words “screaming women with pseudo ill children”. The expectations that tension would ease after Valeri Simeonov’s resignation did not materialize, because Volen Siderov called on Deputy Premier Krasimir Karakachanov (leader of VMRO and co-chairman of the United Patriots coalition) to hand in his resignation as well, so “they can wipe the slate clean”. Later, Krasimir Karakachanov convened the coalition council of the United Patriots to discuss with his partners the relations within the coalition and their participation in the country’s government.
