PM Kiril Petkov is still looking for support from MPs for the upcoming vote of no confidence in his government.

Talking to reporters he stated that his party, We Continue the Change, will do their utmost to find and convince MPs “why it is important for Bulgaria that they make the right decision”.  

If the government is brought down, Kiril Petkov stated that if his party were to be handed a mandate to form a cabinet within the current National Assembly, then together with the coalition partners, he would talk to every single MP for the formation of a government. “What we want to put an end is the rule of the behind-the-scenes puppetmasters,” Kiril Petkov said and added: “Anyone who wants to be with us should be able to make their own decision.”
