“We do not have an answer, as yet, from any political party, to the proposal for a cordon sanitaire around the Movement for Rights and Freedoms-New Beginning in the 51st National Assembly,” said Kiril Petkov, co-chair of We Continue the Change in an interview for Nova TV.

Kiril Petkov stated further that the responsibility of forming a government rests with the biggest political force (GERB/SDS – editorial note). “We are proposing that a declaration be signed that GERB/SDS is not dependent on Delyan Peevksi and then we can begin talks,” Kiril Petkov said. I cannot accept Boyko Borissov as prime minister, he said further.

“I am going to organize a huge resistance,” said Velichie party leader Ivelin Mihaylov, again in an interview with Nova TV, in a comment on the results of the election for parliament in which his party got 3.999% percent of the votes, thus failing to clear the 4% electoral threashold which left them outside parliament. “I am not going to organize a non-peaceful protest,” Mihaylov said. “If we are a free country we should have the right to a revolution.”

Boec civic association has scheduled a second protest, at 8.20 tonight in front of the Presidency building, to demand new elections.
