President Iotova expects early elections to take place right after Easter

“We will do everything possible to hold the elections on the first date after the Easter holidays”, said President Iliana Iotova during consultations with ‘DPS – New Beginning’ regarding the appointment of a caretaker prime minister.

“I have to choose one of the five who have agreed to serve as caretaker prime ministers; I cannot bear responsibility for the interim government — that responsibility lies with the National Assembly”, Iliana Iotova added.

“We have bitter experience from the past, when the rights of Bulgarian citizens were violated. Fair elections mean that every Bulgarian citizen feels respected”, Iskra Mihailova, Deputy Chairperson the Parliamentary group of DPS – New Beginning, told President Iotova.

She emphasized that, for them, it is extremely important that the prime minister is a person with proven administrative experience, not someone close to a particular political party.
