The leaders of "We Continue the Change" Kiril Petkov and Assen Vassilev said they would not participate in a government formed on the mandate of GERB. If the government-forming mandate is later handed over to another political force, including "We Continue the Change", they will hold discussions within their party to make a decision.

"Our definition of a Euro-Atlantic-minded government is a government without corruption. It is not right to replace the voters' choice through political constructions”, former Premier Kiril Petkov said. He outlined several priorities, including the creation of an anti-corruption commission with investigative functions, the introduction of a mechanism to investigate the prosecutor general, etc. 

According to Assen Vassilev, the minimum salary should amount to 50% of the average wage and pensions should increase by 20%.
