During the consultations organized by President Rumen Radev, the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, MRF, Mustafa Karadayi confirmed the movement’s position that what the country needs is early elections. However, he added that what matters most is what has to be done before snap elections are held.

The leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms stated further that his party identified the erroneous formula for the formation of a majority in the National Assembly a long time ago, stating that an early election is imminent.

“We are in the middle of a political, health, economic, energy crisis, so that, in these circumstances we said, back in April, that the formula, and the current government is erroneous.  Logic dictates that a coalition based on hate, on confrontation, division and revanchism cannot last, and will, sooner or later fall,” Mustafa Karadayi said.

At the same time, he reiterated that the MRF has always played “its fundamental, responsible role” in times of crisis. “We shall shoulder our responsibility, we shall not shirk it,” he added.
