We don't mess around with caretaker governments. We have not had a president since the term of office of Mr. Plevneliev ended. Toma Bikov from GERB-SDS told journalists this, who commented on the head of state's decision to entrust Dimitar Glavchev with the formation of an official cabinet, BTA reports.
„What I heard is that he was the only option”, Bikov pointed out. When asked by journalists how he would comment on the opinion expressed by representatives of "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria", that it is possible that “GERB and the president have talked“ about who should be nominated, Bikov answered: „The texts that were adopted as a change in the Constitution were a proposal of PP-DB. As heard, the president has only one opportunity and he uses it.
Asked for a comment on PP-DB's claim that the future caretaker government may be dominated by GERB, the People's Representative stated: “The next regular government will be dominated by GERB. For the caretaker government, Mr. Glavchev will choose, as he himself requested, non-party figures in the true sense of the word, not non-party figures like Asen Vassilev”.
„I don't think we will offer him because we are entering an election campaign and rather we will be looking for experts for candidates for people's representatives,”, he answered the question of whether the formation would offer experts.
„As far as I can see, and this is correct, his request is to create an official government that will fulfill its functions and enjoy some basic trust,”, Bikov also commented.
„We have gone through many caretaker governments, with many unacceptable figures inside. Our election results do not depend on the caretaker government and I hope my colleagues have understood that, he added.
Toma Bikov commented on the topic before today's extraordinary congress of the political party "Gergeovden Movement", which he attended together with the chairman of the SDS Rumen Hristov.
