"We Continue the Change" upholds the nomination of outgoing Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev for new Prime Minister-designate, MP Radoslav Ribarski said. He recalled the position of the mandate-holder, the Bulgarian Socialist Party, that it is the only fair that the largest parliamentary group nominates the next Bulgarian Premier. 

"We Continue the Change" continues to uphold the nomination of outgoing Minister of Interior Boyko Rashkov for Chairman of the Anti-corruption Commission. "The talks on the formation of a new cabinet are based on the programme we have adopted", MP Ribarski said further. In his words, an agreement will be reached with "There is Such a People" party, which is reticent about Boyko Rashkov’s nomination and is against the participation of outgoing Premier Kiril Petkov and Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev in a prospective cabinet.
