At an extraordinary sitting today, the National Assembly is to put the vote the document submitted by Mariya Gabriel, by force of which she is withdrawing her nomination for prime minister of the rotation cabinet, a nomination submitted by GERB party, and states she is not going to propose a composition and structure of the Council of Ministers.

If parliament supports Gabriel’s withdrawal, then President Rumen Radev can continue with the constitutional procedure for the formation of a government within the current parliament, by handing a cabinet-forming mandate to the second parliamentary force – that of We Continue the Change/ Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB).

GERB has already stated it will not support any other cabinet within the current parliament.
