“A member of “There is Such a People” (ITN) party came to my office and said: “ You and Minister Assen Vassilev are doing a good job. Can I arrange a meeting with Toshko Yordanov (Chairman of the Parliamentary group of ITN), because I would be very happy, if the two of you become members of our cabinet?”, said Bulgaria’s caretaker Minister of Economy Kiril Petkov on the occasion of the statement of the leader of “There is Such a People” Slavi Trifonov that he and this country’s caretaker Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev visited Trifonov for talks, reported bTV. 

 In Kiril Petkov’s words, there were more meetings at the initiative of ITN, including a meeting with Slavi Trifonov. However, Kiril Petkov thanked the leader of ITN and said that the only thing that was important to him was to do his job and that he was not aiming at ministerial positions.
