ITN starts talks over forming an expert cabinet

The parliamentary group of ITN announced that today it is starting negotiations with the other political forces and independent MPs within the framework of the 50th National Assembly, after receiving the third and final exploratory mandate to form a government from President Rumen Radev.

The chairman of the smallest parliamentary represented group, Toshko Yordanov said that the party hopes that by the end of the week it would become clear whether it was possible to realize the third mandate. ITN's request is to set up an expert cabinet with broad support.

GERB-SDS repeatedly stated that they would not support a cabinet formed with the second or third mandate. Yesterday, the DPS parliamentary group around Delyan Peevski declared that they would not participate in negotiations for the third mandate, while the MPs who broke away from the group, united around the honorary chairman Ahmed Dogan, will participate in discussions. The BSP and PP-DB said that they will respond to the invitation of ITN.
