As he was entering parliament building this morning, Stanislav Balabanov from There Is such a People (ITN) stated that the party’s decision not to support GERB for the first mandate, and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) for a possible second mandate, was in response to sociologists who had been predicting the opposite.

If a possible third mandate for the formation of a cabinet is handed to them, they would hold talks with all parliamentary groups. Stanislav Balabanov stated further that ITN was not a “crutch” to GERB and MRF, and that it defended all 125,000 voters who cast their vote for ITN. If there is common sense at the 50th National Assembly, and if it comes to a third mandate for the formation of a government, ITN is ready to receive it and to propose an expert cabinet, and begin negotiations with all political parties in parliament which do not want to push the country to elections, Stanislav Balabanov said.
