"This government is the only one I can imagine at the moment, it has shown that it produces results," Hristo Ivanov, co-leader of Democratic Bulgaria, told Bulgarian National Radio. According to him, the opposition is unable to come up with an alternative governing coalition.

The MP pointed out that even after fulfilling the tasks set by the cabinet - joining Schengen and the eurozone and amending the constitution - it makes sense for the cabinet to continue to exist. He argues that "it provides an opportunity to set standards for the enforcement of the rule of law and to create an institutional framework for the fight against corruption".
