“The election results are authentic and reflect the votes cast, as it should be in a democracy,” Prime Minister Stefan Yanev stated at today’s cabinet meeting.

“We ascertained an extremely low voter turnout, unfortunately, the fact that the election was held in summer is probably not the only reason. Political apathy is a dangerous phenomenon and the parties must work harder to involve the Bulgarian citizens in the democratic process,” PM Yanev said.

“Citizens must be exacting, they must constantly exercise control of the way political parties are living up to the commitments they have made. Do not be afraid of being politically active, it is important to preserve democracy and the dignity of our country,” Stefan Yanev said
