A Grand National Assembly can be convened in November, Bulgaria’s Deputy Premier Tomislav Donchev said in an interview for BTV. Staying in government from now on is harmful for us, but the cabinet’s resignation would not change anything, because the same picture will repeat, yet with some slight nuances. That is why Premier Borissov will not step down.
Tomislav Donchev repeated Premier Borissov’s words, that the country needs a restart, because democracy is in crisis. In his words, the proposed amendments to the Constitution have been discussed for nearly one week and the preparations began five years ago. In Deputy Premier Donchev’s view, only a Grand National Assembly can reduce the number of MPs from 240 to 120. “I am not convinced that compulsory military service is what we need”, Tomislav Donchev commented the proposal of VMRO for amendments to the basic law.
