The countdown for the office “Glavchev 2” it has already started. The task that the caretaker prime minister received from the president on Thursday was to propose a government around which there are no doubts about political influence and which would guarantee fair elections.
Rumen Radev will not accept an official cabinet with the participation of Kalin Stoyanov, it became clear earlier today from the words of Vice President Iliana Yotova.
Besides the likely replacement of the interior minister, unofficial sources claim that there could be more changes in the current caretaker government.
„Yes, I am optimistic because the words of the president when handing over the mandate were understood by everyone correctly. "Mr. Glavchev has a second chance to present a cabinet that will hold fair, normal elections in Bulgaria and we will have a new government in a few months, because I don't see where we can fall any further," said Vice President Iliana Yotova.
According to NOVA, talks about reshuffles in the ministries are ongoing. After leaving “Dondukov” 2 Dimitar Glavchev did not give a specific answer whether he will replace Kalin Stoyanov or not. But NOVA sources report that there are currently three names that are possible for the position of interior minister – two of his deputies – Tony Todorov and Stoyan Temelakiev and the director of the Main Directorate “National Police” – Atanas Ilkov.
There is no official confirmation as to whether these are the names being discussed. But, if on Monday Kalin Stoyanov is again in the folder with names as a proposal for minister – there will be no decree again, said the vice president.
„Stoyanov creates political tension and there is no trust in political parties. It seems that he is striving for his political career, he cannot be a guarantor of fair elections", she added.
So far, almost all parties in the 50th Parliament have declared against Kalin Stoyanov's stay. However, the DPS parliamentary group stood up for him, and their chairman Delyan Peevski announced that if Stoyanov is removed, he will offer him a political post.
Another key minister, that of defense, also does not yet know his fate. “For now, I am a member of Glavchev's first cabinet. I am very grateful to have been part of his team. There's still time until Monday. All the planned priorities have been fulfilled, I am also thinking about the next ones”, commented the Minister of Defense Atanas Zapryanov.
