“We are ready to be first and to shoulder this responsibility. This week we are beginning talks with all parties, with the exception of GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms,” Assen Vassilev from We Continue the Change said for bTV.

“We shall propose the formation of working groups in different sectors to discuss the principal problems, and we shall come up with a plan for the next 4 years which we can sign. We need a stable majority. There is no way a minority government can carry through the change we promised,” Assen Vassilev stated.

With regard to the growing inflation, Assen Vasslev commented that there is no way Bulgaria can tackle the problem quickly, because the Bulgarian Lev is pegged to the euro, and with a 5% inflation in the Eurozone, inflation in Bulgaria cannot be any different.
