The leader of GERB Boyko Borissov said that he did not propose the deputy chairman of the party Daniel Mitov to become caretaker foreign minister. In his words, Mitov only coordinated with him whether to accept the post. "I do not want and have no further commitment to this government," he added.

"The first conversation was between me and Dimitar Glavchev, I am ready to take over the post," said Daniel Mitov, the proposed caretaker foreign minister. He added that he had received support from GERB leader Boyko Borissov. According to the MP, if the appointment of the next minister is delayed, the preparations for the elections abroad will be jeopardised.

"According to the Constitution, Rumen Radev is obliged to sign these decrees." This is how MRF co-chairman Delyan Peevski responded to a journalist's question about the fact that the president has not yet issued the decrees appointing the proposed foreign and agriculture ministers. "Let the statesmen live up to the people's trust and stop these games," he urged.

"The drama surrounding the caretaker foreign minister should be directed entirely at GERB and the president, who are clearly unable to reach an agreement," said Daniel Lorer, an MP from "We Continue Change - Democratic Bulgaria". He clarified that the appointments in the caretaker cabinet were not coordinated with the PP-DB.
