“GERB will not submit any one of the changes to the Election Code, proposed by the President,” stated GERB party MP Toma Bikov, formulating the position of the ruling party. “The proposal is for parliament, in the little time it has left, to make changes to the electoral legislation which affect its very foundations. Such an approach would breach trust in the election process,” Toma Bikov stated.
