"We will put new people on the electoral lists and are open for talks with those who share our top four priorities - to halt corruption and theivery; to let small and medium-sized businesses work without being disturbed; to attract high-tech investments; to distribute the revenues in a fair manner", said Kiril Petkov. The new political formation will support Rumen Radev for a second term. However, they did not disclose the name of the party whose mandate they will use to run at the forthcoming elections.
