"On the very night of the elections, We Continue the Change said unequivocally that we would head for another snap vote, because they were not pleased with the election result", Radomir Cholakov, MP from GERB-SDS and Chairman of the National Assembly Committee on Legal Affairs, said for the BNR.

 In his words, "We Continue the Change" are trying to block the work of the Parliament, so that Bulgaria is headed for new early elections and the caretaker cabinet continues to govern. "The most normal thing now is to start discussing the Electoral Code in order to change the rules, as half of Bulgarians have no confidence in them. To restore this confidence, there is nothing more normal than reinstating the paper ballot and continue using the voting machines”, said Radomir Cholakov. "I believe that the next elections will be absolutely fair, perhaps the fairest in Bulgaria’s history”, MP Cholakov said.
