GERB: We will not support a second or third government-forming mandate

GERB will not support the second mandate to form a government under any conditions, says a position to the media, sent by the party's press office on July 9. The decision remains unchanged regarding the third mandate.

"We find that the differences and opposition between the parliamentary groups in the 50th National Assembly do not create the necessary basis for the formation of a stable government.

We recall that immediately after the elections only GERB-UDF proposed a formula for joint governance and shared responsibility - a government with a clear programme and goals, which did not receive support. Voters are aware that if you did not accept talks with the first, who won the elections, and offer such talks with the second, third, fourth, etc. - this is not common sense, but political stubbornness.

The calls to support a cabinet with the second or third mandate are aimed at solving party and coalition problems without a principled basis and will not solve important issues for the society.

We rely on political maturity in the upcoming election campaign as a prerequisite for forming a government in the next National Assembly," GERB's position said.
