Bulgaria: Government loses majority due to Northern Macedonia

Political crisis broke out in Bulgariawhile the government lost the majority because of its position on membership Northern Macedonia in Europe. Specifically, the party “There is such a People” withdrew all its deputies and that it is leaving the four-party governing coalition.

In fact, his leader, Slavi Trifonov“There are two reasons why the ruling coalition is not working,” he said. The country’s policy for Northern Macedonia and the lack of money. “That’s why there is such a people no longer has a place in this government,” said Trifonov, a former pentagram star.

He said that with regard to Northern Macedonia, the Prime Minister Kirill Petkov follows policy different from that of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the decisions of the Parliament and the policy agreed in the National Security Advisory Council of the PD, Rumen Radev. According to him, PM promises European and world leaders to lift veto on northern Macedonia and do everything possible to make it happen, although most Bulgarians want Northern Macedonia to start negotiations only when it fulfills the Good Neighbor Agreement between the two states, signed in 2017.

The departure of the party There is Such a People means that the government of the central reformer Kiril Petkov is losing the parliamentary majority and in any case it will either continue as a minority government or it will collapse.

Petkov, in his first reaction, as soon as his departure was announced, there is such a people, he stated that his government will continue to function as a minority government, which will henceforth have 109 deputies out of a total of 240.
