President Radev to GERB-UDF leader Borissov: You are entrusted with the greatest responsibility for forming a government
The recent parliamentary elections again positioned your party as the leading political force, while also placing the greatest responsibility on you to form a government. Forming a majority in a highly fragmented Parliament is a challenging task, as evidenced by the difficulties surrounding the election of the Speaker of the Paliament. I am pleased that the Parliament has begun working in earnest, a process in which you played a significant role, particularly through the compromise you made with the proposal and election of the Speaker, stated President Rumen Radev during the start of consultations to form a government on December 10.
He asked the leader of GERB, Boyko Borissov, about the prospects for forming a government, to which Borissov replied, " Political ego is proving to be a big problem. Everyone is speaking on behalf of the people and what their voters have supposedly said. "
Boyko Borissov expressed confidence:
" Looking at the international situation and the pressing issues in Bulgaria, such as the budget and geostrategic projects, we need a regular government. Without one, the budget will face huge deficits and massive spending, with no measures to curb it, " Borissov emphasized.
Democratic Bulgaria (DB) responded that they are open to talks with GERB, while We Continue the Change (WCC) stated they do not trust Borissov.
" I assure you that this week we will do everything possible to convince our colleagues of the need to form a regular cabinet, " Borissov added.
President Rumen Radev responded that forming a cabinet in these conditions requires a very intensive dialogue and reaching a consensus.
" How do you see the time frame of this process and when do you prefer to get the first mandate, " Rumen Radev said.
" This week will be for consultations, and from next Monday onwards, if your schedule allows, we can proceed with the first mandate. If we can`t reach an agreement this week, we won`t reach one next week either. We`ve already made many compromises—now let`s see what steps the other parties propose. I see many offended leaders because their candidate didn’t become Speaker of the Parliament. Everyone says: `Responsibility rests with the first party,` but then they continue with, `But GERB shouldn`t have the Prime Minister or Speaker of the Parliament.` How are we supposed to take responsibility under these conditions? This is unserious. We`ve promised to make an effort, and we will, " Borissov stated.
The Head of State began consultations with the political formations in the 51st Parliament on possible formation of a new govrnment. The consulations are a step before the President hands over the first mandate to seek to form a government.
The first round of consultations began with the largest parliamentary group - GERB-UDF.
The purpose of the consultations with the head of state is to outline the possibilities for defining a majority that can elect a regular cabinet.
