Nikolay Vassilev

Slavi revised his decision to nominate Nikolay Vassilev as Prime Minister of Bulgaria. The ITN leader has clearly not withstood pressure from the media and political opponents. He defended Vassilev, but made it clear that for him more important than who is at the head of the state is to "scratch" the GERB model.

"I know about half of the announced candidates for ministers by Slavi Trifonov and I definitely do not think that they depend on anyone's instructions."

They are successful professionals who do not need to be puppets of anyone in this phase of their careers, "former Finance Minister in the NDSV government Milen Velchev told BNT today.

The leader of There Is Such a People, Slavi Trifonov, announced today that his party will be taking on the responsibility of governing Bulgaria alone, as the 'protest' parties lack the necessary majority. Using the TV channel 7/8 as a platform, he thanked voters for their support.

The party "There is such a people" will not be a part of coalition with the other so-called "parties of protest" ("Democratic Bulgaria" and "Rise up! Thugs, out"), but will propose a government.

This was announced by the leader of "There is such a people" Slavi Trifonov in a statement on TV "Seven-Eight", broadcast on its facebook page.

,,We expect the coming year to enter the Eurozone waiting room, but this is a moving term that can last longer. Bulgaria has not yet applied for membership in the currency mechanism'', former Economy Minister Nikolay Vassilev said in the morning block of the Bulgarian National Television.
