Deputies are expected to vote for the "Zhelyazkov" cabinet in the National Assembly, BNT reported.

Yesterday he handed over the folder with the completed mandate to President Rumen Radev, immediately after he gave it to him.

The structure of the government will consist of a prime minister, three deputy prime ministers - one from each party in the coalition and 19 ministers. Eleven from GERB-SDF and four from "BSP-United Left" and ITN.

DPS - MRF will support the government without sending ministers to the cabinet - so in the plenary hall there will be support for the government from 126 deputies.

An 11-page agreement was signed by GERB-SDF, "BSP-United Left" and ITN, before sending the "Zhelyazkov" draft cabinet. There is also an additional annex to the document, which regulates the support from the parliamentary group of DPS - MRF. According to the signed texts, each minister can be replaced if he does not fulfill the management program.

In the election of deputy ministers and regional governors, the quota principle will not be applied, but a broad consensus will be sought. Decisions will be made with the help of a special Council for Joint Management, which will include three representatives of each of the three main formations and two from DPS - MRF. Each party will be able to terminate its participation in the government by notifying the others in writing and justifying it.

After the vote in the National Assembly, the caretaker cabinet will hand over power to the new ministers.
