There is no deadline according to the Constitution, in which the structure and composition of the Council of Ministers should be presented by the nominee for acting Prime Minister, but the one-week deadline established by the President must be respected. Constitutional law teacher Orlin Kolev commented on this on Darik's broadcast.
When asked what will happen if Dimitar Glavchev fails to form a government, according to the constitutional expert – nothing fatal.
Executive power will be exercised by the government in resignation of Academician Nikolay Denkov, and even if there is no official government elected, this is no excuse for not being able to organize elections, Kolev pointed out.
“If we assume that the European Parliament elections are on June 9, we spend two months from June 9 and arrive at the date of April 9. According to the Electoral Code, it is a two-month period, and there is practically no possibility to organize in a shorter period of time, Kolev said.
According to Kolev, the main goal is not to form an interim government, but to provoke new parliamentary elections, “in which the sovereign will be able to configure a new parliamentary majority, which will issue a new regular government”.
In connection with the constitutional cases initiated at the request of President Rumen Radev and 48 deputies, related to the amendments to the Basic Law, adopted by the 49th NA on December 20, Kolev commented: “As of this date, the Constitutional the court will not issue a decision. At the moment, the period is still running, in which the persons to whom the Supreme Court referred should file an opinion on the submitted requests for declaring unconstitutional part of the provisions. In any case, the SC will not rule within this period. Separately, there is the question of how it should be approached and if, in the event, the Constitutional Court declares some of the amendments unconstitutional, which of the texts should be applied. We have a mixed opinion on the doctrine – some believe that the previous constitutional situation is being restored, others believe that we have a legally established gap, Kolev commented.
