''The talks with a parliamentary group which had stated categorically in advance that it would not participate in the process of forming a government and calls for immediate new elections are pointless'', President Rumen Radev said with regard to his decision not to invite the parliamentary group of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms- A New Beginning for consultations before handing over a mandate for forming a regular government.

Asked whether this action violates the Constitution, President Radev responded: "My actions are strictly guided by the Constitution and respect for the rule of law and our Euro-Atlantic partners. The consultations will be held and the mandates will be handed over as per Article 99 of the Constitution. If there is any threat to the Constitution, it does not come from not allowing compromised persons into The Presidency, but from their infiltration as metastases into a number of other institutions”, said President Radev.
