The president can be proactive, he can also be passive. Where he judged that he might be active, he reacted as he did with Gorica Grancharova-Kozhareva.
Dimitar Glavchev kept the structure of the government, otherwise he should have asked the National Assembly to change it. It is unlikely that there will be no one to replace the prime minister if he and the finance minister are out of the country.
This was stated by Assoc. Nataliya Kiselova, professor of constitutional law, on bTV.
From 1991 to 2023, the role of the president was exceptional – he chose the Prime Minister next to the Minister of Culture and Sports in the official cabinet. After the changes in the Constitution, an official cabinet was formed in a new way. In the Commission on Constitutional Affairs, we used to say that the list of possible prime ministers was short, the teacher pointed out.
„The increase in the number of days in which the caretaker government rules is a result of the political crisis we are in. Limiting the powers of the president does not overcome this crisis, it deepens it. However, it does not matter the number of days in which he manages the official cabinet, he does not form a majority in the parliament. It is important what this cabinet has done, she added.
„Today we are awaiting the swearing in of the National Assembly. The procedure will be short, so a long meeting is not expected unless a parliamentary group makes a declaration. Until the fourth of September, the people's representatives are on vacation, unless consultations are held through the European Affairs Committee in connection with the nomination of a European Commissioner.”, Assoc. Kiselova summed up.
