“There is Such a People” (ITN) party does not aim to nominate a Prime Minister-designate. The new Premier should be a unifying figure and must be nominated during negotiations between the future coalition partners, representatives of ITN said at a meeting with President Rumen Radev during the consultations on the formation of a new cabinet with the third exploratory cabinet-forming mandate. "It was your party's decision to leave the government that pushed the 47th National Assembly to decide between electing a new ruling majority or going to new snap elections", Bulgaria’s head of state Radev said. He asked ITN how they saw a way out of the current crisis.

"Our political party believes that in this crisis situation the country should have a government again. In our view, it should be formed by the same four parties, because we have similar goals. Of course, there are some discrepancies between us, but they are outweighed by our common goals, unlike GERB, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms and “Vazrazhdane” parties, with whom we have found no common ground," MP Toshko Yordanov said.


In his words, however, the future ruling coalition must be based on equal partnership. ITN also called on the leaders of “We Continue the Change”, Kiril Petkov and Assen Vassilev, to step aside, so that experts are at the forefront.
