Institutions are in deep crisis. It should be a commitment of all political forces to propose a form of government and a government chosen by the parliament. According to the Constitution, Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic. This crisis simply means that we are in free fall mode. There is no way that the official government of shared irresponsibility between Borisov and Peevski will lead to anything good. This was stated by the former Minister of Justice Atanas Slavov in the studio of "The Day ON AIR".
He rejected the criticism of the PP-DB for the changes in the Constitution, which created the so-called "home book", according to which the president can choose an acting prime minister.
"It is obvious that the proposed format of a caretaker government is some kind of compromise option between the first initially proposed ones. We have seen the purposeful actions of institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Commission to remove one of the possible participants - the deputy governor of the BNB, Mr. Gyurov," said the PP-DB MP.

According to him, Gyurov was unlawfully removed from his post and the decision was not legally groundless.

The 51st National Assembly must radiate regular governance
Slavov told Bulgaria ON AIR that a government is possible if compromises are made.

"Party selfishness must be limited, the right formula of joint management must be found. Government through a politically neutral, strong, authoritative prime minister," added the guest.
According to him, a government with broad parliamentary support for clear priorities is possible.

"Peevski was not part of the coalition formula, DPS did not vote for this government when it was created. I cannot know in what formats Peevski participated, in the constitutional format he participated, everyone was invited to support ideas for changing the Constitution. Only 3 formations finally got involved, which made the constitutional formula unstable", Atanas Slavov specified.

"Revival" not an option for PP-DB
partner As an impossible coalition, the deputy pointed out one with "pro-Russian formations such as "Vazrazhdane". And as priorities for the future government, he indicated the reform of the regulators, full membership in Schengen and the Eurozone.
"I hope the leading political forces will show responsibility, our goal is to be the mandate holder - first or second place after the elections, to restore the trust of part of the democratic community," Slavov requested.

Who to choose the future Attorney General
The former justice minister was adamant that the current Supreme Judicial Council should not choose the new chief prosecutor and the procedure would be illegitimate.

In his words, yesterday's decision of the Supreme Administrative Court on the registration of "DPS - New beginning" from a legal point of view, it is "very controversial, but it is final and the CEC must comply with it".
