“Backroom bargaining is taking place for the formation of a government, that is why Rumen Radev is dawdling over the handing of the second mandate,” outgoing PM Boyko Borissov said at a working meeting with the cabinet ministers at his home in Bankya.

He stated that while the head of state, the leader of ITN (There Is such a People) Stanislav (Slavi) Trifonov and the “parties under their care” are negotiating, his cabinet has never stopped working. Boyko Borissov also commented President Radev’s words that the “government should work”, saying that the moratorium on the decisions of the outgoing government is stopping the cabinet from doing its work. Boyko Borissov accused Rumen Radev of keeping his silence regarding the espionage scandal, the explosions at an arms depot in Czechia and the involvement of a Bulgarian arms dealer.
