The ruling coalition is meeting today to discuss the nominations of Andrey Gyurov from We continue the Change and of Lyubomir Karimanski from There Is Such a People for governor of the Bulgarian National Bank, BNB.

“If it comes to withdrawing both candidacies, that would certainly ease tension,” National Assembly President Nikola Minchev commented yesterday in an interview with bTV. He pointed out that no one in his own formation, We Continue the Change, has been coercing Lyubomir Karimanski into withdrawing from the race.

There Is Such a People has stated it stands by its nomination - Lyubomir Karimanski – while Democratic Bulgaria demanded a different, single candidacy. The Bulgarian Socialist Party on its part stated it would do its best to put forward a single candidate.

Whatever may happen, the coalition is not going to break apart, National Assembly President Nikola Minchev believes.
