We work to complete the tasks that are planned for us. This is what the resigned Minister of Economy and Industry Bogdan Bogdanov told journalists. He added that he does not make plans for how long he will be a minister.
The head of state Rumen Radev started yesterday meetings with potential acting prime ministers. According to Art. 99 of the Constitution, after an agreement on a government has not been reached, the president, after consultation with the parliamentary groups and on the proposal of the candidate for interim prime minister, appoints an interim government and schedules new elections within two months. After the changes in the Constitution, the head of state can choose from among the Speaker of the National Assembly, the governor or deputy governor of the Bulgarian National Bank, the chairman or deputy chairman of the Audit Chamber and the ombudsman or his deputy.
Discussions are still going on. We are waiting for information on how the process will be structured, said Bogdanov.
The minister attended the national conference on "20 years of Bulgaria in NATO: Because we are stronger together". The forum is under the auspices of the outgoing government. The organizer is the Diplomatic Institute under the Minister of Foreign Affairs, together with the Information Center of the Ministry of Defense, the Atlantic Club in Bulgaria and the Sofia Security Forum, notes BTA.
