Only Asen Vassilev and Boyko Rashkov are sure of ministers, the others will agree

There should be a regular government within two weeks. “We continue the change” will nominate a prime minister, but it is uncertain whether it will be Kiril Petkov

Within two weeks, there should be a new coalition government of “We continue the change”, “There is such a people”, BSP and “Democratic Bulgaria”.

This is the attitude of the leaders of the four formations, after the negotiations of the working groups on 18 topics of the future government ended on Saturday.

The budget for 2022 to be adopted in February and to be updated in July, agreed the four formations on the topic of finance.

Abolishing visas for Bulgarians to the United States and improving relations with Northern Macedonia by opening a Sofia-Skopje flight are foreign policy priorities that were also agreed on Saturday.

“These were 18 very intense conversations, but there was no topic in which to put the Bulgarian interest and not reach a huge agreement. This means that

it doesn’t matter if we are left, center or right

I wish to fulfill all points with real actions and in 4 years Bulgaria will not look like this “, summed up after the end of the 6 days of talks the co-chairman of” We continue the change “Kiril Petkov.

On Monday and Tuesday, he and Asen Vassilev are to hold leadership meetings with the leaders of the other three formations, at which the remaining disputes after the working groups will be cleared.

Then the talks on the names of the ministers begin.

Until now, according to information from “24 Chasa”, there were only two sure – Asen Vassilev for Minister of Finance, and the acting Minister of Interior Boyko Rashkov to keep his post in a regular cabinet.

Even the name of the prime minister will be subject to negotiations, although “We continue the change” has already nominated its leader Kiril Petkov. However, it was not ruled out that the post would be offered to the caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev. He himself has already announced that he would accept a proposal from “We continue the change”.

“The first party has the right to nominate a prime minister, and that is normal. When we talk to our partners, we will inform you whether we will ask for ministerial posts in the cabinet “, BSP leader Cornelia Ninova also commented on Sunday. She expressed readiness for the Socialists to discuss nominations for ministers made by President Rumen Radev.

Some of the caretaker ministers may remain in office if the coalition fails to come up with better candidates, said Lena Borislavova, a lawyer and MP for the Continuing Change. Some of them have shown very high expertise, she stressed to BNR.

The nominations of ministers will start after the controversial moments in the program are cleared at the leadership meetings at the beginning of the week, explained the co-chairman of “Democratic Bulgaria” Vladislav Panev. According to him, a reasonable period to have a regularly elected government is up to two weeks. Rumen Radev also complied with the negotiations

convened the first sitting of the new parliament only at the end of the week

Education Minister Nikolay Denkov is expected to be one of the members of the caretaker cabinet to receive an offer to continue his work. He was also an expert for “Continuing Change” in discussions on education last week.

However, the Secretary General of the President Dimitar Stoyanov publicly attacked one of the possible candidates of the PP for Minister of Defense – the former caretaker Minister Todor Tagarev, who also participated in the negotiations on behalf of the formation of Petkov and Vassilev.

Tagarev participates in the negotiations for coalition government in the field of “National Security” as part of the team of the PP. Are you serious? Oh, no, thank you! ”Stoyanov wrote on Facebook. Tagarev’s conflict with Radev’s team dates back to 2017, when the former head of the Defense Institute announced to parliament that the criteria for buying new fighters had been lowered by the Air Force, leading to the initial selection of the Swedish Gripen.
