Press Review

All leading Bulgarian media today focus on the topic of possibility for forming a new cabinet within this Parliament. "Cabinet being formed during Mercury retrograde," Trud writes. "If there is no government until January 22, this will be abuse of the Constitution. Upon failure of the third mandate, President Rosen Plevneliev is obliged to appoint a caretaker government,” says in an interview professor Plamen Kirov. "Negotiations between GERB, the Reformist Bloc and the Patriotic Front: agreement for cabinet with Prime Minister of the Reformist Bloc", writes "Capital Daily", pointing out that negotiations could quite legitimately continue until mid-January. The prime minister will be a member of the Reformist Bloc, while GERB would leave some of its ministers from the previous cabinet in their positions, we read in "24 Hours". There is already a majority to back the new cabinet. It is brought together by the management program adopted two years ago, which partners from GERB and the Reformist Bloc want to complete. Petar Moskov is one of the names who could possibly become the new Prime Minister, newspapers write.

Today's press react also to tragic news from last night. "Russian ambassador shot dead in Ankara,” 24 Hours writes. "The gunman who was an off-duty policeman shouted: ‘Remember Aleppo," Standard adds.

“The ‘bureaucracy tax’ will grow next year. State institutions are among the main obstacles to improving the business environment,” Sega alarms. During the new year institutions will continue to burden Bulgarian business with all sorts of fees that do not justify the cost of service. In 2016, obligations of the business to the budget have increased. There are delays of payments between companies and the state and local administrations, as well as state companies. This becomes clear from the results of a survey of the Bulgarian Industrial Association, published in "Sega."

"The winners of the 'Wonders of Bulgaria' Contest have been announced," Standard informs." The Antique Theater in the city of Plovdiv has occupied the first place in the chart.

“Deep Purple with a farewell concert in Bulgaria,” Telegraph writes. One of the greatest rock bands in music history would come to Sofia on May 14 next year for a grand concert, which will be part of the world farewell tour of the band.
