At the beginning of the weekly government meeting, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov made an important statement regarding the priorities and challenges facing the current cabinet. The Prime Minister emphasized that the government, supported by a stable majority, has set ambitious goals to improve the living standard of Bulgarians, with a vision that extends beyond the current mandate.
We have many tasks that we need to solve in the coming days and weeks, Zhelyazkov stated, while also expressing reluctance to engage in political polemics or react to recent actions of political forces and institutions.
The Prime Minister emphasized the cabinet's determination to focus on its governance program without deviating from its goals due to political attacks.
All attacks against the cabinet that heat up the autumn political situation should not meet our reaction, because our view is beyond pettiness, beyond the topical issues, Zhelyazkov pointed out.
The Prime Minister expressed concern about the instability in the political consensus related to the balance between institutions. He described as a
rather dangerous precedentthe inability to form bodies responsible for national security and diplomatic service. Zhelyazkov called on the parliament to make the necessary legal changes to restore institutional balance, emphasizing that the government would not initiate this process due to its role in the balance of powers.
We believe that society needs to restore normal functioning and inter-institutional cooperation, as prescribed in the Bulgarian Constitution, the Prime Minister stated.
Despite the upcoming political challenges, Zhelyazkov confirmed the government's commitment to continue its work without interruption.
For the government, the political season is without vacation. We continue our work across sectors and are ready to take on any responsibility, including the political battles that lie ahead in the autumn, he concluded.
The Prime Minister's statement comes in the context of growing political tension and expectations for an intense political season in the autumn. The government demonstrates determination to continue its work on key priorities, despite the challenges, while calling for the restoration of institutional balance and constructive cooperation between the different powers in the country.
