“I am handing back the folder with the unfulfilled mandate for the formation of a government,” said academician Nikolai Denkov who was nominated for prime minister by We Continue the Change party, as he returned the mandate to President Rumen Radev.
“I believe that it was worth the effort – the discussion, the question where Bulgaria is going is not academic, it is a question of the future of our children,” Nikolai Denkov said.
“Your like-minded coalition partners from Democratic Bulgaria said that the only way a government can be formed on the third mandate is if agreement is reached between GERB and you, so I am asking you to discuss this matter of utmost importance,” Rumen Radev responded. He expressed the hope that the negotiations on forming a government will not shift the focus away from the legislative work of the National Assembly and the adoption of the laws under the Recovery and Resilience Plan, the anti-corruption law and the law on the accountability of the prosecutor general, which are connected with the country’s entry into the Schengen area.
Over the weekend, Democratic Bulgaria co-chairman Hristo Ivanov commented the option of the third mandate being given to Democratic Bulgarian saying: “For the country to exit the political crisis, and to do it in a stable way, there needs to be some kind of accord between We Continue the Change and GERB.” On 9 January, he said in Plovdiv that whoever receives the third mandate for the formation of a government will have to take as a basis the formula applied during the negotiations of the first two mandates – instead of discussing a coalition that govern rule the country, to discuss targets of governance. He explained that they would support a government “only if there are clear commitments to a constitutional reform of the prosecutor’s office, to the fight against corruption and to restricting Russia’s influence in the country.”
