“We do not have an answer, as yet, from any political party, to the proposal for a cordon sanitaire around the Movement for Rights and Freedoms-New Beginning in the 51st National Assembly,” said Kiril Petkov, co-chair of We Continue the Change in an interview for Nova TV.
Kiril Petkov stated further that the responsibility of forming a government rests with the biggest political force (GERB/SDS – editorial note). “We are proposing that a declaration be signed that GERB/SDS is not dependent on Delyan Peevksi and then we can begin talks,” Kiril Petkov said. I cannot accept Boyko Borissov as prime minister, he said further.
