“The rotation is a trifle, a technical matter, it would be unnecessary and ludicrous if Mariya Gabriel were to accept the mandate and a few days later hand it back,” said GERB leader Boyko Borissov in Korel, in a comment on the prime ministerial rotation, due in March, when PM Nikolai Denkov, nominated by We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB) is due to cede the post of prime minister to GERB’s nomination, current Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Mariya Gabriel.
Mariya Gabriel will go (to be handed a mandate to form a government) with a cabinet approved by the parliamentary groups, and its voting will begin right away, Boyko Borissov said.
GERB’s leader praised the Minister of Interior Kalin Stoyanov for the “enormous amount of work” connected with the country’s accession to the Schengen area by air and by sea, and added that the work of each cabinet minister will be analyzed, and on the basis of this analysis a decision will be made who should keep their post.
