President Rumen Radev urged the representatives of the parliamentary group of There Is Such a People (ITN) to begin negotiations with the other political formations in the 50th National Assembly immediately. Rumen Radev handed ITN the third and last exploratory mandate for the formation of a cabinet.
“Since the very start of this process you have upheld the idea that there has to be a regular government, as well as the formula of a supra-party, expert cabinet,” said President Radev.
“We shall hold talks with all parties represented in parliament,” ITN MP Toshko Yordanov who was given the mandate stated. “I hope that by the end of the week we shall have some idea whether there is any chance of forming a government on the third mandate. We shall hold talks with the parties in the presence of the media,” he said. “At these meetings we shall discuss priorities, problems, ways and deadlines for their solution. If we reach agreement, then talks will be held on the members of the cabinet and who the people will be that will implement the respective programme. There is no political party or political representative in parliament who hasn’t said that elections are not the best solution,” Toshko Yordanov said.
“I am not the deserter kind but there is a constitutional procedure that has to be followed,” caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev said, in answer to a reporter’s question whether he would agree to continuing as caretaker prime minister if the third exploratory mandate for the formation of a cabinet falls through. “The best thing would be to have a regular government,” he said.
