Acting Prime Minister Asen Vasilev today informed President Rumen Radev of his decision not to nominate a government and returned the exploratory mandate he had received when he was nominated for the post of prime minister by the We Continue Change party, the largest in parliament.
During a press conference earlier today, Vassilev said his party had managed to secure just 117 votes in parliament to support his potential government, four short of a majority of 121 votes in the 240-seat legislature.
Addressing representatives of the party Continue the Change, Radev said: “I believe that the mission to change our country is historic, and Bulgarians will complete it no matter how difficult it is. Thank you for working for the country, putting it above of all values”.
According to Radeff, institutions can achieve results if the national interest is put above all else. “I expect the government to develop and prepare the actions related to the Recovery and Resiliency Plan to be submitted to the National Assembly,” said the president.
The Constitution states that under these circumstances, the mandate to form a government will be given to the second largest party in parliament, the center-right GERB-UDF, but it has already announced that it will immediately return it without using it, and in this case a third mandate will be given by the president to a parliamentary party of his choice. If all these efforts fail to form a government, then the country will be headed for early parliamentary elections.
