The main topic in today's press is the possibility of forming a new cabinet within the framework of the current National Assembly. 24 Hours writes that the name of the new Prime Minister will be decided today and tomorrow President Plevneliev would be informed about the decision. The newspaper points out that GERB, the Reformist Bloc and the Patriotic Union had agreed on 10 crucial points related to forming a new cabinet. Among them are a new Electoral Code, preparation for the upcoming EU Presidency, measures against migration risks and anti-corruption law. "We would support a government with Reformist Bloc mandate," Telegraph writes, quoting deputy chairman of GERB Tsvetan Tsvetanov. "The saga with drafting of a new cabinet has already reached the level of melodramas and soap operas. Turning points are so many that no one knows for how many hours the words of local politicians will be valid,” Standard writes.

There is hope that on Tuesday people from Hitrino would start returning to their homes, Sega writes. People from the village had been evacuated after an explosion of derailed tank cars on December 10 in which a number of people died, many were injured, and houses were destroyed.

"Shortage of policemen" is a headline in "Trud". The article focuses on the fact that in the Sofia Directorate of the Ministry of Interior, there were still some 68 positions for policemen left untaken.

Two Bulgarian drivers were arrested in Croatia in a truck in which 62 unconscious and half-dead migrants from Afghanistan and Pakistan were being transported, Telegraph informs. Among the refugees there were also children aged 12-13. The drivers of the truck told the police that they were going to Germany and for five days they had not given water, or food to the migrants.

French company Latecoere plans to build in Bulgaria’s Plovdiv a factory for production of aircraft parts, "Capital Daily" reports. The newspaper recalls that in the spring U.S. company Woodward announced the start of production of auto parts in the region. So after the recent boom in auto parts production business, this country has started to attract suppliers working for Airbus, Boeing, etc.
