“There is Such a People” party has failed to collect enough signatures to initiate a referendum on a presidential republic. This transpired from a Facebook post by the party’s leader Slavi Trifonov.
"We have collected 145,193 signatures from Bulgarian citizens in the country and abroad for a referendum for convening a Grand National Assembly to decide whether the parliamentary form of government should be replaced with a presidential one. These signatures are insufficient under the current law and such a referendum will not be initiated," Trifonov wrote on Facebook. 400,000 signatures are required in order to send the referendum petition to Parliament.
