In a televised interview Valery Simeonov, chairman of the National Front for the Salvation of Bulgaria once again pressed the point, that “the best thing for Bulgaria is a GERB, Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and Patriotic Front coalition”.

In order to ease tension between GERB and the BSP, Simeonov suggested that GERB leader Boyko Borissov nominate socialist Mihail Mikov for president of the National Assembly. As to a coalition involving GERB, the patriots and Volya party, Simeonov commented he did not trust Volya which was, in his words an “ambiguous player”, already laying claim to ministerial seats.
