"I want new elections in Sofia. Is it right to have elections that are bought? It is not right. The elections were manipulated with flash drives, we know that so far." With this statement to journalists, GERB leader Boyko Borissov called for an early local vote in the capital. He accused mayor Vasil Terziev and the first political force in the municipality PP-DB-"Save Sofia" of impotence and added that Sofia has been in chaos for months, referring to the impossibility of electing chair of the Municipal Council.
Speaking about the government, Boyko Borissov said that he did not see "any more compromises" that his party could make. "The solution is Mariya Gabriel keeping the position of foreign minister in addition to being prime minister, and Nikolai Denkov - special deputy prime minister and minister of education," he said on the occasion of the upcoming rotation in the cabinet.
