After the president handed over the second mandate for forming a government, I think it has become clear what the stakes are, the co-chairman of "We Continue the Change" (PP), Assen Vassilev, commented on Facebook. “Dictatorship or parliamentary republic. The choice (for) now is in the hands of the parliament,” Vassilev writes.

"I am not optimistic about forming a government", the leader of the Union of Democratic Forces (SDS), Rumen Hristov, said in Blagoevgrad. SDS believe that there is still a chance for a government with the second term, but only if Mariya Gabriel, nominated by the GERB-SDS, becomes prime minister.

“President Radev has the right to criticize some of the leaked conversations in the leadership of the PP, which are shocking, but conveniently omits that part of them that directly concerns him. It is clear from the records that PP and Radev made ‘schemes for the elections’, that the whole state machine was working for them, and that if the people were allowed to vote freely, they would have received between 7 and 10%," BSP leader Korneliya Ninova commented on Facebook.
