Leading political figures from the opposition are taking a firm stance against the current government. Ivelin Mihaylov from the "Velichie" party declares categorical support for a vote of no confidence, emphasizing that their parliamentary group entered the National Assembly with the goal of removing the executive power.

Mihaylov launched sharp criticism towards "Democratic Bulgaria" and "Vazrazhdane", accusing them of splitting the opposition ranks. According to him, their actions actually consolidate the government and reduce the chances for negative change through protests or unification.

Additionally, the politician hinted at potential future political repressions, predicting new arrests in August that will affect his associates. Parallel to these statements, the Ministry of Electronic Governance initiated a meeting with opposition parties, focused on the upcoming vote against the cabinet.

The National Assembly has scheduled the discussion of the vote of no confidence for 1:00 PM, which further escalates political tension in the country. Ivan Mirchev, for his part, commented that the government offers left-wing measures to control prices.
