Tomorrow, July 1, at 17 pm, the Bulgarian President Rumen Radev will hand over the mandate to the candidate for Prime Minister, proposed by the largest parliamentary group in the 47th National Assembly, and that is We continue with the changes.

This was announced today by the office of the Bulgarian head of state.

The PP is expected to try to form a government within the current parliament.

- If early parliamentary elections are held at all, they would not be expedient before September 15. You can estimate, going back two months, when the return of mandates can be completed at the earliest, said Radev. He emphasized that it is important to listen to the opinions of the parties and take them into account.

We continue with the changes, they are silent about the mandate holder

Kiril Petkov did not announce today who the party will propose as a mandate holder of the new Bulgarian government.

"We have an executive council in the party. That's a lot of people to think about together. The question is to avoid a crisis point from now on, which is not so important," comments Petkov.

Who will be proposed as the prime ministerial candidate for the first trial term must be decided by tomorrow afternoon, when the president will introduce him to "We continue with the change".

And the partners from "Democratic Bulgaria" are waiting for the name of the candidate of "We continue with the change" to assess whether they will support him.

- For us, the political formula on which the cabinet will stand is more important than the question of the name of the future prime minister, the president of the parliamentary group of Democratic Bulgaria, Hristo Ivanov, said today, reports BTA.

"The question here is not about the figure of the possible prime minister, but generally to find the formula - whether it is a new government that aims to finish the four-year mandate or have a more limited horizon and a more limited agenda for solving the most urgent problems during the next year. We would also discuss such an option, which would shift the focus to more expert figures, and not so much to the political leaders," commented Ivanov.

According to him, within this composition of the Bulgarian parliament, support can be gathered for proposing a government with a first mandate, which the head of state Rumen Radev should hand over to "We continue with the changes" tomorrow.

"The ball is in the court of the prime ministers from" We continue with the change ", they must say what their vision is," said Hristo Ivanov. According to him, different formulas can be sought, and the best option for the country is to elect a regular government with the first term.

BSP leader Cornelia Ninova has made it clear that her party will only negotiate a new government if Petkov is not a candidate for prime minister.

"We will return to the negotiating table when the PP proposes another candidate for prime minister." Petkov said that today the board of the PP will meet and resolve this issue. We do not interfere in the work of other parties. "His candidacy for prime minister is simply unacceptable," Ninova said.

ITN remained on the stand - without Petkov and Vasilev in the cabinet

Kiril Petkov and Asen Vasilev should not be part of the executive power in order to have a normal dialogue with the rest of the representatives of "We continue with the changes". This was stated by Stanislav Balabanov, an MP from the parliamentary group of "There is such a people", BTA reports at a briefing in the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria today.

Balabanov pointed out that "There is such a people" did not officially receive an invitation to talk from "We continue with the change", which will receive the first trial mandate to form a cabinet within this parliament.

ITN was part of Petkov's coalition government but left it due to dissatisfaction with the course of negotiations with North Macedonia.
