The second day of political consultations with the Bulgarian President before handing over of the mandate to form a government began with a conversation between the leaders of Vazrazhdane party and the head of state Rumen Radev. The best option for the country is early parliamentary elections, urged Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov.

In case of failure of the first and second terms, are you ready to propose a formula for the implementation of the third mandate - asked Radev?

"We are always ready to offer an option for the governance of the country and we are ready with the composition of the government. Another question is whether this formula will find understanding in this composition of the parliament - no, it won't," answered Kostadinov. He accused the president of contributing to the current political situation because he did not support the campaign of Vazrazhdane to hold a referendum against the introduction of the euro.

"I will urge you not to inspire your ardent supporters," Radev said and justified himself by saying that "he cannot stop illegal actions with other illegal actions."
