“Statehood is being destroyed in an unprecedented way,” said Vice President Iliana Iotova in a comment on the leaked audio recording from the meeting of the National Council of We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria at which the formation of a government was discussed.

“I was one of the people in Bulgaria, maybe the minority, who really did believe what the nominees for prime minister – academician Nikolay Denkov and Mariya Gabriel - were saying all week, that a stable government is genuinely being considered that will swiftly resolve people’s pressing problems. The biggest absentee in what we heard and read are the Bulgarian citizens – there was no discussion of the budget, of incomes, inflation, only how the state can be captured,” she said.

The president strictly adheres to the constitutional procedure. When and how he is going to hand the second mandate for the formation of a government is entirely within his powers, Iliana Iotova said further.
