Bulgarian President Rumen Radev said that he hoped that the impasse over the election of the Speaker of the new National Assembly would be resolved quickly, reports BTA. 
Talking to journalists after the swearing-in ceremony for the new Constitutional Court judges, the President said that he hoped that MPs would realise the damage they were doing to parliamentarianism if outsiders could see the ineffectiveness of Parliament. 
Radev pointed out that he had given enough time between the elections and the first session of the National Assembly in the expectation that the parties would have time to talk and break the deadlock, but that the parties had not made the best use of that time. According to the Head of State, the election of the Speaker would unblock the whole process of forming a government.

The development of Bulgaria as a democratic state is entirely our responsibility, President Radev concluded.
