"As of this moment, we do not have 121 votes of support for a new cabinet," Finance Minister and Prime Minister candidate Assen Vassilev told journalists. He pointed out that talks about support in the 240-seat Bulgarian parliament are still ongoing, but if it is not secured, the cabinet-forming mandate will be returned unfulfilled to President Rumen Radev. 
minority government in such a parliament cannot be a sustainable and responsible government of the country, Vassilev added.
