Rumen Radev has at least one or two options for forming a government, besides the possible draft cabinet announced in public. If we talk about a coalition composition of the future government with PP-DB - it sounds frivolous. This was stated by the constitutional law professor at Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski" Prof. Plamen Kirov to News.bg.
According to him, the leader of the party that won the general parliamentary elections also becomes the prime minister. "Undoubtedly, Radev will become the prime minister - this is my opinion", the professor emphasized.
According to Prof. Plamen Kirov, he believes that the "plane" with leader Rumen Radev will turn "up", without having to turn either east or west.
"Radev will pursue a balanced policy and I do not want to compare him in any way to the current Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orban. It seems to me that he will pursue a balanced policy, given that his political force cannot be defined as either left or right, but rather as a centrist party," commented Prof. Kirov.
He is of the opinion that at the first session there will be a chairman of the 52nd National Assembly and he will be from "Progressive Bulgaria", and there will be elected deputy chairmen, as well as parliamentary committees and parliamentary groups.
Prof. Kirov also stated that Rumen Radev will seek a qualified majority of 160 votes in order to elect a new Supreme Judicial Council (SJC), a new Prosecutor General and a new Chairman of the Supreme Administrative Court. The Chief Inspector and the Inspectorate to the SJC must also be elected.
According to him, PP-DB and "Vazrazhdane" are Radev's possible partners for the replacement of the SJC and the Prosecutor General.
"First, the task of forming a government will be solved and with this the 52nd National Assembly will begin to work. The government will replace the regional governors and the management of some security services from DAR and SANS, as well as some regulators," outlined Prof. Kirov.
Prof. Plamen Kirov also commented on whether there will be changes to the Constitution. "To restore the old situation in the Constitution - the president will also have to seek a qualified majority for the ex-president. Most likely, he will still have to seek PP-DB, but how do you imagine these people will embrace this idea with open arms and cancel what they have seen. It is all a matter of talks with PP-DB and a matter of the political price that Radev is willing to pay, because PP-DB are known political blackmailers for concessions", added the constitutionalist.
The pitfalls that Prof. Plamen Kirov outlined for Rumen Radev's future government - the adoption of a budget and the guarantee that taxes will not be raised, stabilizing the country's comparative balance, the fuel crisis, the food price crisis and the affirmation of "Progressive Bulgaria" in the European Parliament.
