President to Velichie: Caretaker prime minister will become clear in a few days

“The caretaker prime minister will become clear in the coming days,” President Iliana Iotova said at the last of her meetings with the parliamentary forces - this time with the party “Velichie” - as part of the consultations on the choice of a caretaker prime minister.

“We are all guided by the desire for the state not to stop functioning, to try to address the most urgent problems of Bulgarian citizens, both in the remaining days of the resigning government and during the caretaker cabinet,” the president said.

“I believe in your choice and I believe that you will do what is best for the Bulgarian people, because from here on irreversible processes follow. When people lose faith in the state, we cannot restore it. We are ready to work jointly with you to achieve transparency and justice,” said Ivelin Mihaylov, leader of Velichie party.

Following the completed consultations, the president is expected to designate the caretaker prime minister, who will then propose a caretaker government.
