Political parties

In accordance with the Bulgarian Constitution, President Rumen Radev will hold consultations with representatives of the parliamentary groups in the 45th National Assembly.

These consultations will precede the handing over a mandate to form a government to the candidate nominated for Prime Minister from the largest parliamentary group - GERB-UDF.

With a balanced and productive Parliament, the main goal for which the party "There is such a people" was created will happen immediately.

In a post on Facebook, leader of There Is Such a People (ITN) Slavi Trifonov, who is currently under mandatory quarantine and yesterday was sworn in as an MP online, responded to GERB's initiative to start their new parliamentary term from moving a draft bill on the majority vote and blaming ITN for having given up on this initiative.

Today, the MPs are discussing the establishment of a provisional committee that will investigate the governance of Boyko Borisov. The debate on setting up the investigation commission proceeded amid mutual recriminations, BNR reported.

The resignation of the Cabinet Borissov 3 was accepted with 156 votes "for" and applause. This wat was the first item on the agenda of today's session.

GERB's parliamentary group did not take part in the vote, even though its members were in the plenary hall.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli had an iftar, or fast-breaking, meal on April 15.

The two leaders convened at an Uzbek tent of the Presidency for dinner.

"We will see each other in some new movie," Boris Tadic said in May 2012 after losing the presidential race to Tomislav Nikolic, one of the founders of today's ruling Serbian Progressive Party, SNS.

Outgoing Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov on Wednesday (14 April) put forward Daniel Mitov, a diplomat, as his successor although most analysts agree that the proposed cabinet will likely be rejected by the new Parliament.

 The Coalition Democratic Bulgaria would hold talks with the second largest parliamentary represented party - "There are such a people" (ITN) led by Slavi Trifonov, about what kind of government could be nominated.

Protesters gathered in front of the old parliament building with the inscription "Unity Makes Strength", where the solemn opening session of the newly elected 45th National Assembly begins. They demanded that parliament dissolve itself, new elections and a caretaker government.
