“I expect the participants in the elections to make a thorough analysis of the reasons why we have reached such a deep chasm between Bulgarians and parties. The refusal of the majority to take part in the elections speaks for itself - they do not identify with the dark PR, with the pre-election messages, and most of all with the behaviour and the actions of the parties. In a parliamentary republic how the country will develop is up to the parties that have won the elections. It is their responsibility from now on, and they cannot run away from it,” President Rumen Radev told reporters in Shabla where he watched a military exercise. Asked when the new parliament will be convened, and if there will be consultations with the political groups, the president answered the question with a question: “How can it be convened – some of the leaders are hiding out on Facebook, others escaped to villages, some have taken to the woods. I am waiting for them to come back.”
