President Rumen Radev has nothing to do with the referendum launched by "There is Such a People" who want to replace the parliamentary form of government with a presidential one, party leader Slavi Tifonov announced at a briefing.

ITN have already started collecting signatures from citizens in order to hold a referendum for the convening of a Grand National Assembly to resolve the issue. Trifonov pointed out that he had not discussed the idea with the head of state.

"I want to hold this referendum so that everyone can say what they want the political management of the country to look like, since the parliament looks more and more ridiculous," he also said.
