Government of Bulgaria

The consultations of political forces represented in Parliament with President Rossen Plevneliev have come to an end. The reason for the consultations was the resignation of the Borisov 2 Cabinet after the failure of GERB at the presidential elections, reported BGNES.

Outgoing Interior Minister Rumyana Bachvarova announced that GERB will not support the Patriotic Front in its attempt to form a government within the framework of the current Parliament.

Bachvarova explained on Nova TV that simple logic excludes the option of the biggest party in Parliament backing the third or fourth largest political force and implementing their programme.

President Rossen Plevneliev will hold talks with representatives of the Patriotic Front and the Bulgarian Democratic Centre - Naroden Sayuz within the framework of the political consultations with the parties represented in Parliament for dealing with the government crisis.

All outgoing ministers in the government will give statements on Tuesday and Wednesday at the investigation department at the Sofia City Prosecutor's Office on the decision by default for the barter of vaccines between Bulgaria and Turkey, announced the spokesperson of the Prosecutor General Rumyana Arnaudova.

On Tuesday, President Rossen Plevneliev will talk separately with representatives of DPS and the Reformist Bloc within the framework of the political consultations with the parties represented in Parliament.

The current Parliament has depleted its mandate to create a new functioning and stable government, Bulgaria's Regional Development Minister in resignation has said.

Lilyana Pavlova has told NOVA TV station that the only feasible option would be to call a snap vote in April.

Bulgaria's President Rosen Plevneliev has vowed to do everything within his mandate to save the current Parliament and help political parties form a new government.

President Rosen Plevneliev said on Thursday he intends to convene special sitting of the Consultative Council on National Security with his successor Rumen Radev, to seek a way out of the political crisis in the country and to discuss the issues about the transition of power.

President Rosen Plevneliev will start consultations with the parties represented in Parliament after MPs accepted the resignation of the Borisov Cabinet.

The head of state will hold separate talks with the representatives of the different parties in an attempt to prevent the government crisis from turning into a parliamentary one.

The meeting of the parliamentary group of GERB and President Rossen Plevneliev will take place on Thursday, announced in Parliament the Deputy Chairman of the party Tsvetan Tsvetanov.

There will be political consultations which the President will hold with all groups represented in Parliament in order to look for solutions useful for the state, said Tsvetanov.
