GERB-SDS will not take part in another cabinet within the 51st National Assembly

 

GERB-SDS will not participate in another cabinet within the 51st National Assembly, Deputy Chair of the parliamentary group Denitsa Sacheva said at the consultations with President Rumen Radev, which he is holding under the Constitution in an attempt to form a new government.

• MPs unanimously approve the government’s resignation

• Government resigns without waiting for vote of no confidence

• Mass anti-government protests across Bulgaria ahead of the no-confidence vote

On behalf of her political force, MP Denitsa Sacheva urged Bulgaria’s head of state to set a date for early elections and to participate in the vote himself. “For us, entering the presidency these days feels like entering the largest party headquarters in the country”, said Denitsa Sacheva.

In response, Rumen Radev said that the presidency is not the place to debate whether Schrödinger’s cat is alive or dead. He added that he expects GERB-SDS to act responsibly and continue fulfilling its duties. “Citizens expect stability in governance, regardless of who is in power”, Rumen Radev noted.

“In the coming hours, an extended budget will be submitted, and we will do everything necessary to ensure it is reviewed by the parliamentary committees and in the plenary hall”, Denitsa Sacheva replied.
