"We want to hear what Mariya Gabriel is planning - whether it is only about changing one person or about a complete judicial reform," Nikolay Denkov from "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) told journalists before today's meeting between his coalition and GERB-SDS. 

GERB's Prime Minister designate Gabriel announced that the first step of her eventual cabinet would be to demand the resignation of Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev. 

The MP clarified that his coalition had no intention of changing their position (PP-DB's position is not to support this cabinet), but the goal is to understand what the other side is proposing. 

"Why did the attitude towards Ivan Geshev suddenly change, after he was persistently defended for so many years", asked Denkov, emphasizing that PP-DB demand guarantees for the implementation of good intentions.
