On Facebook, Kiril Petkov, co-leader of We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB), said that this coalition would not support "the GERB-SDS government that Peevski dreams of, because the next reforms that Bulgaria needs are impossible with such a government".  Vazrazhdane also reiterated its position that it would not participate in a GERB-SDS cabinet. 

The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) would not vote for the cabinet either, because the proposed composition of the Council of Ministers did not correspond to GERB's earlier declaration that it would propose a cabinet of experts, the group's deputy leader, Ivan Ivanov, said in Ruse. The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and the There is Such a People party (ITN ) have not yet said what they think, while Ivelin Mihailov of the Velichie took to the social networking site X to urge his MPs to support the government.
