The match Alliance for Rights and Freedomswith 15 of the 240 deputies, today returned to the president, Rumen Radev, the task of forming the Executive due to the impossibility of obtaining sufficient support, to which the head of state announced: “Then we are going to elections.”
The first mandate was awarded on Monday to the largest parliamentary group, the conservative populist GERB and to the current acting prime minister, Rosen Zhelyazkov, who immediately returned it.
Zhelyazkov resigned on December 11 after less than a year in power at the head of a coalition with social democrats and anti-systems.
On Wednesday, Radev proposed the formation of a new Executive to the pro-European opposition and reformer PP-DBwho also rejected the order.
Majority government, sanctioned
Zhelyazkov governed in a minority thanks to the support of DPS-New Beginning, a formation led by oligarch Delyan Peevski, sanctioned by the United States and the United Kingdom for corruption.
This Executive resigned on December 11 after a series of protests by hundreds of thousands of citizens throughout the country against endemic corruption and what is perceived as a state captured by the influence of Peevski in the executive, legislative and judicial branches, and also in the security services.
After the three failures to form a new Government, the president has to appoint an interim prime minister and approve the executive team that he will propose, and also call early elections within a period of two months.
Bulgaria, one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the European Union, has been immersed in a serious political crisis for five years due to the lack of solid majorities due to the division between parliamentary forces over issues such as corruption, or support or not for Russia in its aggression against Ukraine.
On January 1, the country adopted the euro as its official currency, a step that the Government now in office described as the definitive one in the process of accession to the European Union, of which it has been a member since 2007.
