On Tuesday, January 24, President Rumen Radev will meet representatives of the parliamentary group of "BSP for Bulgaria", from whom he will receive the unfulfilled third mandate to form a government. This was announced by the presidential press office.

The decision to return the mandate was taken by the socialists at a joint meeting of the parliamentary group and the party's Executive Bureau. "The responsibility lies with the winners of the first, second and third mandates. We are going to elections, what will happen after them - the voters will decide," BSP leader Korneliya Ninova said.
