The Bulgarian parties represented in parliament are already preparing for participation in the upcoming early elections for 49th National Assembly on April 2 and show optimism for their future results.

"We shall focus on the local dimensions of the problems and on opportunities. We will be looking for a political formula that will lead to the formation of a ruling majority in the parliament", Tomislav Donchev, deputy chairman of GERB said. The priority for the party will also be judicial reform.

The co-chairman of "We Continue the Change" Assen Vassilev is conducting negotiations for a partnership with "Democratic Bulgaria" on the condition that it be sealed with a written agreement. "We are actively working with DB but also with all other civic organizations and parties with which we have a common vision for Bulgaria," Vassilev added.

"We will form pre-election and post-election configurations that will give the Bulgarian citizens a clear option to vote for a democratic and reformist government", Hristo Ivanov from DB said.

"Vazrazhdane" party with leader Kostadin Kostadinov are ambitious to turn from the fourth to first political power in parliament.

"We continue our policy. We support the completion of the Belene NPP project and the expansion of the Kozloduy NPP," Rumen Gechev of BSP said.

"Bulgarian Rise" will have a council meeting to decide the format in which it would participate in the upcoming elections, party leader Stefan Yanev said.

The Movement for Rights and Freedoms have remained silent.
