After the consultations between the Bulgarian president and parliamentary forces have ended, the negotiations on the rotation in the government continue. The opposition in Bulgaria is pushing for elections as soon as possible, BGNES reported.
On the second day of political consultations with the Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, the opposition parties never gave an answer to the question the president asked, namely whether they have a formula for governing and whether they can implement a possible third mandate. Both "Revival" and the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) see the "salvation" of Bulgaria in new extraordinary elections. The representatives of There is such people (TSP) joined the general opposition opinion.
This morning's consultations with the president began with a meeting with representatives of "Revival", the fourth largest parliamentary group.

"I assume you are following the course of negotiations between the partners in the ruling coalition. Over the past period you have positioned yourselves as opposition to the government. Having followed all these processes of government selection, how do you assess the chance of forming a government, even if it is better than the current one? If the first and second terms fail, are you prepared to offer an option for governing the country?" With these words, President Rumen Radev welcomed the representatives of Revival - Kostadin Kostadinov, Tsoncho Ganev, Petar Petrov, Svetoslav Todorov and Veselin Veshev.

"We are always ready to offer an option for the governance of the country. We have a ready composition of the government, we have been saying this for three years now", the party leader Kostadin Kostadinov replied.

As a penultimate meeting and consultation with a parliamentary group, Radev received BSP representatives at Dondukov 2 (the building of the presidency).
"Our position is clear. Time proves this position, it is that this government and this majority are harmful for the country. The agony in which they have dragged Bulgaria can only be ended by early elections," BSP leader Kornelia Ninova told Radev.
From the chairman of the TSP political group Toshko Yordanov, the president heard that the 49th National Assembly made no sense and it was best to go for new elections.

Acad. Denkov admitted that relations with his partners are complicated and no one expected the opposite. "For this reason, we find the act that we have put two documents on the negotiating table to be correct. Whether and how we proceed depends on what the governance agreement looks like from now on," the outgoing prime minister stressed.
Also on Monday, Radev held a meeting with representatives of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF).

The country must have stability and predictability. If the two ruling coalitions - GERB-UDF and WCC-DB, come to an understanding, there is a rotation and a next cabinet, we will continue to be a factor of stability. This is what the co-chairman of the MRF, Javdet Chakarov, and the deputy chairman of the movement's Political Group, Yordan Tsonev, told the president. /BGNES
