"Democratic Bulgaria" coalition have announced to the president Rumen Radev during the round of consultations to form a government that they will not support the first mandate of the GERB party, but will make efforts to form a working government with the second mandate.
The co-chairman of the coalition, Hristo Ivanov, believes that the cabinet should be formed with the mandate of "We Continue the Change" party, in a coalition with "Democratic Bulgaria" and with the support of GERB, but without the latter actually taking part in power.
After the consultations, Ivanov reminded of the priorities of "Democratic Bulgaria", which the future government must push through - "judicial reform, security and a reasonable economic pulse that cares for the people".
