"I expect that the parties will focus on the real problems of Bulgarians such as poverty, rising prices and the state budget”, Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev said several days before the inaugural sitting of the new parliament. “It is humiliating for the political process in Bulgaria to be subordinated to the dilemma of whether an ambassador should be present or absent at the inaugural sitting of the National Assembly”. 

In Rumen Radev’s words, there will be no Parliament, if a regular government is not formed, because the Bulgarian constitutional model rests entirely upon the National Assembly. President Radev made this statement at a ceremony at the Pilots' Monument in central Sofia marking the Day of Aviation.

“During the forthcoming consultations on forming a government, I will seek an answer from the parties on what solutions they propose to guarantee our air sovereignty”, President Radev said.
