Due to this situation, when none of the presidential candidates received a majority of votes from the MPs, the MP from Ima taklov narod (ITN) Toshko Yordanov proposed a compromise solution, the oldest MP in the Parliament who opened the constitutive session should be the interim president, until the majority elects a legitimate one. president, did not receive support from parliamentarians.

"Kirilov should remain in office until a majority is formed that will propose its own chairman. This will allow us to constitute our groups in the parliament, the committees and conduct normal conversations between parliamentary groups, which have never been held before for a possible majority", suggested Yordanov, whose party the oldest member of parliament, Silvi Kirilov, comes from.

Another break followed to debate the motion, apparently with no support for the idea, which was not even put to a vote. At the end, the chairman Silvi Kirilov announced that the meeting will continue on Wednesday.

Only when the president of the parliament is elected, he will be able to start the procedure with the president, who will approach consultations and hand over the mandate to the first political force since the elections on October 27, which is GERB-SDS.

Five candidates were proposed for the President of the Assembly, none of which received significant support. Apart from Nazarjan and Cekov, Prerodba, BSP and ITN proposed their candidates.

Protests before the assembly

Only DPS-New Beginning did not stay in the plenary hall after the oath of the deputies, and Deljan Peevski went to the square where sympathizers from all over the country were organized.

He addressed the protesters in front of the building, who came to show that they are not "phantoms".

While the citizens chanted "DPS, DPS", Peevski shook hands with them.

"My friends, I am proud that you are here today to defend your rights. “You are not phantoms, you are my family. I warn them one last time – no one will ever put you in a corner again. "I will give my life for this fight."

He threatened that the next time the protest will be in front of the presidency.

Another group of protesters, supporters of Velichie, the party that failed to enter parliament by 21 votes, greeted the new MPs with chants of "Mafia" and demanded justice.

The party has already appealed to the Constitutional Court for the cancellation of the elections due to vote buying.

"Greatness" does not suit two - Boyko Borisov and Deljan Peevski, everything else inside is arranged according to their play and direction. We will make sure that through people in different places, through intransigence, we get justice, but not because of the election result, but because of justice and because of the destruction of Bulgaria", commented Ivelin Mihailov, leader of the party.

GERB remained isolated in the parliament

At the same time, the leader of GERB, Boyko Borisov, launched a cabinet of GERB, PP-DB, BSP and ITN as the only possibility for regular management. But he set a condition to be prime minister, which was immediately rejected by the PP-DB.

"With Prime Minister Borisov?" Let's talk seriously," said the co-president of PP-DB, Asen Vasilev.

The leader of DPS-New Beginning Deljan Peevski, who is the dividing line between GERB and PP-DB, for his part threatened to escalate the situation and entered into a new dispute with President Rumen Radev, saying that he is preparing a party led by Krum Zarkov.

GERB remained an isolated party in the parliament after the vote for president, because only the 68 MPs from Boyko Borisov's party voted for the candidate Nazaryan. 121 people's deputies voted against her nomination - 21 from PP-DB, 5 from BSP, as well as all deputies from "Prerodba", from the coalition around Peevski, from ITN and from MECH. The vote of the group around Peevski against Nazarjan came after, shortly before, the leader of GERB, Boyko Borisov, launched an idea for a government that would not include DPS - New Beginning. He proposed a cabinet between GERB-SDS, PP-DB, BSP and ITN, but with the condition that he himself be the prime minister.

"Rebirth": A million Bulgarians were bought as livestock

In his speech in the Bulgarian National Assembly, the leader of Prerodba Kostadin Kostadinov mocked the actions and inaction of the foreign embassies in Sofia and stated that in the last elections over 1 million Bulgarians were bought or "confused like cattle" to vote.

"Dear compatriots, if we sum up the results of the elections - almost one million of you sold your vote or went to the polls like cattle - either by local feudal lords or by ordinary criminals who work for a criminal organization in the parliament, which operates and is registered according to the Law on Political Parties, Kostadinov began his speech in the parliament.

"Another 4 million of you didn't bother to vote at all, because they don't care about the people or their own future. We did not hear anything from the embassies in our country about the legality of the elections, why are you so shamefully silent, Your Excellencies?", asked Kostadinov.

"You do not hesitate to interfere in internal affairs at every convenient opportunity, but now you are silent?" Why didn't you support freedom and democracy as you passionately spoke in support of the gay parade in our country, Your Excellencies? "If you had not provided money to your thieves here, they would be stealing watches or walking the streets," added Kostadinov.

He emphasized that there cannot be a stable government without his "Revival" party, and speaking of three possible coalitions for the formation of a new government in Bulgaria, he emphasized that the fourth option is new elections in the spring.
