After the refusal of GERB-SDS and ''Vazrazhdane" ; there is no chance of achieving a majority with the third mandate, I am pessimistic. If Kostadinov's party changes its position and agrees to support an expert supra-party cabinet, we may succeed. We have not discussed the change of the Speaker of the Parliament, now the priority is the third term. This is what he said in "Offensive with Ljubo Ognyanov" the acting chairman of the BSP Atanas Zafirov.
"The talk of changing the Speaker of the National Assembly is secondary and may be a function of the search for a solution for a political majority to produce a working government. We have voted against Raya Nazaryan's candidacy, so there are no surprises. I don't see that she has committed any flagrant violations so far," he added.
In his words, BSP "will rather support a government with the third term". "However, it depends on the proposed prime minister, the formula for forming the cabinet, the horizon, the program and the decision of the BSP National Council. During the conversations, it became clear that there is a great deal of overlap between ITN's theses and ours. Among the coincidences are the goals in health care, education, the development of nuclear energy, the fight against corruption and judicial reform. Both parties are "for" tax-free minimum. We have good communication with ITN within the framework of the realization of the third term", commented I.F. chairman of the BSP.
Zafirov said that today he spoke with representatives of "Continuing the Change" because of the third mandate. "Everyone sees BSP as a loyal and predictable partner. I have not spoken with the representatives of those who broke away from the DPS", he emphasized.
The leader of the BSP defined as a good idea that the ombudsman is a candidate for prime minister in the official cabinet. "From next week we are starting a policy conversation with the coalition partners from the left space, we have 17 working groups. There will be guides on lists from the partners as well. Cornelia Ninova is trying to sabotage us through her calls not to visit ''Buzludzha''. "The party is in a difficult financial and organizational situation," said Zafirov.
