The parliamentary group of "Democratic Bulgaria" did not appear at the meeting scheduled for today with the BSP within the consultations for forming a cabinet with the third mandate. Explaining the motives, the co-chairman of the formation Hristo Ivanov told BNR that this mandate was doomed.

After receiving the mandate, the BSP wanted to start consultations on forming a cabinet with the three so-called formations of change. After the meeting with the first of them - "Stand up, BG! We are coming!", it became clear that they would not support the Socialists. 
A meeting with representatives of "There is such a people" (ITN) is planned for tomorrow. 
Talks of the BSP with employers' organizations are forthcoming, about the priorities to be included in the work of the future government and about the national budget update.
