The big question isn't when the elections will be, but what kind of elections we will have, said President Rumen Radev, after "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" returned the unfulfilled mandate to form a government.
With this refusal, the possibilities for forming a government within the 51st parliament are greatly narrowing, said the head of state. He pointed out that he expects the leaders of political parties not to tell him when to schedule the elections, but to show political initiative and responsibility, to get acquainted with the decision of the Constitutional Court from March 13 last year, which, according to the president, "describes only part of the atrocities during the last parliamentary elections".
Radev called on all parties in the parliament to ensure that confidence in the electoral process is increased. The parties should look back in history from the last five to six years to see when the elections were the fairest, most transparent and with the greatest confidence, with the fastest and most objective reporting of the result and to undertake the necessary legal changes so that every Bulgarian can be sure that their vote will be counted correctly, said the head of state.
