Now is not the time for constitutional changes, Bulgarian government spokesman says

We can guarantee fair elections with machines, with paper ballots and with a fingerprint if we have to, but this saga now is unnecessary, the caretaker government spokesman Anton Kutev told BNR. He considers "irresponsible the disputes in the parliament" about the return of the paper ballot in the elections and that the parties ignore the real problems of Bulgarians, such as inflation and poverty.

The spokesman for the caretaker government appointed by the president stressed that at the moment of political fragmentation, the topic of a presidential republic was not on the agenda at all. Now talk about changing the constitutional model is not only not possible, but also dangerous, Kutev commented.
