"The leaders of the political parties, especially those who are represented at the National Assembly, should finally assume responsibility and ensure that more citizens go to the polling stations so that they are much better represented",  President Rumen Radev said in Brussels regarding the stalemate in Parliament over the election of a National Assembly speaker.

 “I strongly hope that reason will prevail and the MPs will finally constitute the National Assembly”, President Radev said. Rumen Radev also expressed expectation that the National Assembly would adopt the state budget, as well as the draft laws prepared by the caretaker government under the Recovery and Resilience Plan, so that Bulgaria can start receiving payments from the EU. "It is high time we found a way out of this political crisis and implemented the long-awaited reforms", President Radev stressed.
