In accordance with the Constitution, President Rumen Radev has signed a decree today appointing the government nominated by caretaker Prime Minister-designate Dimitar Glavchev. The new cabinet is expected to be sworn in at the National Assembly immediately.
On Tuesday, the president also issued a decree on the holding of early parliamentary elections on 27 October.
The new cabinet has one deputy prime minister – the Minister of Finance Lyudmila Petkova.
In the new caretaker cabinet with PM Dimitar Glavchev, the controversial figure of Kalin Stoyanov as Minister of Interior is being replaced by Atanas Ilkov, until now Director of the General Directorate National Police. The prime minister will no longer double up as foreign minister.
The Foreign Ministry will now be headed by Ivan Kondov, until now Deputy Foreign Minister.
Transport Minister Georgi Gvozdeykov will be replaced by Krasimira Stoyanova. The reason why Minister Gvozdeykov is being replaced are the serious problems in the Bulgarian State Railways company with even videos of passengers pushing a train appearing on social networks, Dimitar Glavchev stated.
