“There is Such a People” came to the consultations with prepared suggestions for the government programme

The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) is holding consultations about forming a government in the span of the third mandate. Today they are meeting with “There is Such a People”.

At the beginning of the meeting, the leader of BSP, Kornelia Ninova, warned that the socialists have serious intentions to try to form a government, because they know what awaits the country in the upcoming winter months and they do not intend to waste time in unfruitful negotiations.

“This is why I ask you to declare your position - do you seriously want to form a government? Secondly, we want the government to work according to the three parties’ programme we approved during the first mandate. As we confirmed with “We Continue the Change” yesterday, the programme is open for “There is Such a People” - since you have not taken part in its creation, it is normal to give your opinion on it. Therefore, if you are willing to sit down and talk about forming a government, pressured by crises and worried about the people, let's converse with this aim in mind,” said Kornelia Ninova.

“There is Such a People” declared that they accepted to work on the programme, created by “We Continue the Change”, BSP and “Democratic Bulgaria” and they came to the consultations with ready suggestions for it.

“As soon as it became clear that the parliamentary roulette spins one again, we declared that we a open for dialog and that we are of the opinion that a cabinet with the parties from the quadruple coalition should be formed. The programme, in large part, corresponds to the previous coalition’s agreement, although there are some points to discuss. We come with prepared suggestions, because we did not take part in its creation,” said the chairman of the parliamentary group of “There is Such a People”, Toshko Yordanov.

Iva Miteva from “There is Such a People” noted that, at the moment, elections are not necessary and would deepen the crisis.

“Therefore, if we are responsible politicians, we have to do everything possible that depends on us, leaving our ego behind, so we can do the necessary to form a cabinet,” said Iva Miteva.

Like yesterday, the structure and the composition of the Council of Ministers will not be discussed, declared Kornelia Ninova, since the aim of the first stage of negotiations is to form a majority for the government programme.

BSP began consultations about forming a cabinet after it received the third mandate. Yesterday’s meeting was with the largest parliamentary group, “We Continue the Change”.

The structure and composition of the future cabinet was not discussed. The formation of Kiril Petkov and Assen Vassilev set a condition for continuing the negotiations: for the anticorruption law to be approved and Boyko Rashkov to become head of the Anticorruption Commission.

If an agreement is reached and a majority formed, the largest parliamentary group will give their nomination for the position of Prime Minister.

The third mandate was presented to BSP by the Bulgarian President Rumen Radev. The socialist party is searching for a parliamentary majority in their previous partners from the quadruple coalition, with the majority based on the government programme created by “We Continue the Change”, BSP and “Democratic Bulgaria”.

The left will not seek support from GERB-UDF, MRF and “Vazrazhdane”.
