The new plenary session of the 51st National Assembly began with declarations about the priorities of the political parties. For GERB-SDS, the main task is the formation of a regular government and a stable ruling majority, MP Toma Bikov said. He explained that GERB-SDS will be extremely cautious in the coming weeks regarding the adoption of legislation, because in a parliament without a parliamentary majority, legislative initiatives are used for electoral purposes.

The co-chairman of BSP-United Left, Atanas Zafirov, also stated that the country needs a regular government to work on important policies. Vazrazhdane party committed to reinstating the zero VAT rate for bread and basic foods. DPS-New Beginning Deputy Chairman Yordan Tsonev outlined as priorities the increase of incomes and freezing electricity prices. The Chairman of Democracy, Rights and Freedoms-DPS, Dzhevdet Chakarov, announced that the group is ready to participate in discussions for a regular government.
