"We will no longer help ensure a quorum in Parliament", said Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, the party holding the mandate for the government formed by the parliamentary majority. His statement, made in front of the party's parliamentary group and Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov, was broadcast live on Facebook.
"We will not break the coalition, but we will not continue in this way either", Boyko Borissov said. "The Prime Minister needs to tighten things up, to reformat, including the Speaker of the National Assembly", Borissov emphasized. The politician’s anger was triggered by GERB's poor performance in the municipal council elections in the town of Pazardzhik.
In an official statement, the leader of "DPS – New Beginning", Delyan Peevski said that ''there is a need to reformat the government — with clear responsibility assigned to each of the participating political entities''. ''That is why I declare that we are ready to take on our share of the responsibility'', noted Delyan Peevski. According to him, "DPS – New Beginning" will appoint a negotiation team to meet with Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov, BTA reports.
