Twelve days before April 2 elections, we can say that we are ready for the polls, caretaker Prime Minister Galab Donev told the Council of Ministers and voiced his dissatisfaction with the fact that "every political player is attacking the caretaker government from the roof of his house of cards." Donev recalled that the cabinet is in power because the previous parliament failed to form a regular government. 
The election campaign is sluggish, none of the parties has come up with a new message. Instead of talks about a future government and opportunities to find common ground between the different political formations, the election campaign again saw personal conflicts, qualifications and insults, Vice President Iliana Iotova said from Veliko Tarnovo.
