Boyko Borissov

In the Bulgarian parliament, a heated dispute erupted over the proposal to award Georgi Yordanov the "Stara Planina" order of the first degree, nearly resulting in a physical altercation. The conflict centered around the communist regime and "State Security."

Boyko Borissov, the leader of GERB, confirmed that his party will engage with "There Is Such a People" (TISP) for a meeting on Saturday, aimed at discussing the final mandate for forming a government. However, Borissov reiterated that GERB's position remains firm: they will not support a government formed within this parliament.

Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, expressed his hope that the recent judicial reform was implemented correctly as the Constitutional Court is set to rule on two appeals against last year's constitutional changes.

Bulgarian MPs have called for the accelerated adoption of the euro, but the finance minister explained that this was not feasible. The Committee on Budget and Finance voted on a decision urging the caretaker government to expedite the practical preparations for the euro's adoption in Bulgaria. This draft decision was submitted by Boyko Borissov and several representatives from GERB.

On the sidelines of parliament, GERB leader Boyko Borissov criticized the legislative body for its lack of productivity over the past month and a half. Speaking to journalists, Borissov remarked that despite his busy schedule, including meetings with five ambassadors, a European negotiator, and a foreign commission, the parliament has failed to achieve anything significant.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov likened the political situation to a weather forecast, commenting on the prospects of securing a third mandate. He suggested that if nothing changes for the winning party in the first mandate, there will be no significant developments in the second or third mandates. He expressed skepticism about managing a large parliament with only 18 or 20 deputies.

Acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev has expressed his willingness to remain in office if the third mandate is not fulfilled and the country must be governed by an acting cabinet once again. This was made clear from Glavchev's responses to questions from citizens and the media on Facebook earlier today.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov Thursday said that his party will not make a coalition with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), as GERB stated as early as three months ago. Talking to reporters, Borissov said further that the negotiations had proved in an indisputable way that GERB neither asked for support from the MRF nor gave support to that party. 

Boyko Borissov, chairman of the GERB parliamentary group, has formally declined the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) invitation to negotiate forming a government with the second mandate. In his letter, Borissov reaffirmed GERB's position of not supporting a second mandate under any circumstances. The stance remains consistent even for the third term.

At the upcoming NATO summit in Washington, acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev announced that Bulgaria will propose initiating peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Glavchev emphasized:
