Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov wants the presidential powers to be reformulated, so that the principle of the separation of powers can be restored.

Changes to some laws, as well as to the Constitution are needed, the prime minister said in parliament. In Nikolay Denkov’s words, the presidential institution, via the caretaker cabinets, has violated the separation of powers, and unless it comprehends this, it would be up to the legislators to reinstate the separation of powers.

Nikolay Denkov denied there being any political motives for the dismissal of Interior Ministry Secretary General Petar Todorov, and confirmed that the government is going to nominate Zhivko Koztev for Secretary General.
