President Rumen Radev began consultations with political forces to form a new cabinet within the framework of the 51st National Assembly.

At 10:00 a.m. at "Dondukov" 2, representatives of the parliamentary group of the "Alliance for Rights and Freedoms" (ARF) were invited. A meeting with MECH is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

The main questions the president posed are: "Is there still life in the 51st National Assembly, or should we go directly to early parliamentary elections? Does the Electoral Code need to be changed? Do you see problems with the extension law for the budget against the backdrop of the new financial and economic situation that awaits us from the beginning of next year?"

Hairy Sadakov, chairman of the ARF, stated: "We all must draw our clear conclusions about what behavior we should have in politics from now on, all of us who are on the political field."

Radostin Vasilev, leader of MECH, emphasized: "In the current National Assembly, we do not see a possibility for reformulating a governing majority. MECH will not deviate from its position that we cannot support and participate in a government with Peevski and Borisov."

The consultations are expected to conclude tomorrow with a meeting with "Velichie".
