“Even if we have 150 MPs from GERB and DPS, there will be no government after the elections between only these two parties,” GERB leader Boyko Borisov threatened, but refused to say why he was making such a request.
Shortly afterwards, the leader of the DPS, Delyan Peevski, sanctioned under the global “Magnitsky” law, commented on the statement of the GERB leader:
“It is too early to talk about results after the elections, we may have 161 deputies and then we will think again”.
“This is like me saying, with Hristo Ivanov and Gen. Atanasov, we will not rule together. We are together because we are one coalition, in their case they are an informal coalition that will rule together,” said PP co-chairman Kiril Petkov on the occasion of Borisov’s words.
The leader of GERB, Boyko Borisov, also claims that he does not interfere in the talks about the composition of the interim government. Until now, I do not know that a meeting with GERB personnel has been requested, he told journalists on Tuesday.
At the end of last week, the long-time staff of GERB and current chairman of the Audit Chamber, Dimitar Glavchev, was named by the president as acting prime minister, arguing that he was the only one of the potential candidates who accepted to take the post. Rumen Radev gave Glavchev 7 days to propose candidates for official ministers.
Before Radev announced his decision on Glavchev, Borisov insisted that neither Glavchev nor the head of the parliament Rosen Zhelyazkov be elected as caretaker prime minister. “Radev is a responsible person and will not throw the country into a constitutional crisis. Glavchev was his choice, we accept it,” said Borisov now.
Peevski said that the formation of the interim government is Glavchev’s responsibility, but if someone from the DPS is invited, he will refuse.
