The head of state emphasized that he is still in talks with potential candidates for the post of caretaker prime minister. He also refused to name a specific date for the parliamentary elections.
"We are all experiencing the aftershocks of ill-fated changes to the Constitution that are more destructive than the process of their adoption. That these changes backfire on their creators is not the biggest problem. The problem is that they are already eroding the foundations of parliamentarism and a number of important institutions - the National Assembly, the BNB, the Audit Chamber and the Ombudsman, he emphasized to Nova TV. Rumen Radev.
In his words "after what happened in the last few days, it should not be clear that professionalism can no longer be the leading criteria in the appointment of the management of these important institutions". "Each party will now look for a convenient and loyal person in whom it will foresee the possible future prime minister," he stressed.
When asked who he would appoint as interim prime minister, the president said that "I am currently holding talks with these people". "Some of them are even outside the country. We have to take every single option extremely seriously because they have become extremely few. This is an important question. Tomorrow, Thursday, at 5 p.m. I invite the parliamentary groups for consultations in connection with the appointment of a caretaker government. When I appoint the caretaker government, I will immediately announce the date for the elections", Radev was categorical.
