"It is evident that the political crisis continues and its solution requires not only putting aside personal and party interests but also requires adequacy", President Rumen Radev said in Parliament after the MPS rejected the nomination of Rossen Zhelyazkov from GERB-SDS for Prime Minister. "What we saw today in the parliamentary debate is that personal attacks dominated over political theses. And the focus was more on the past than on the present and the future", President Radev said. He did not say when he would hand over the second government-forming mandate. According to the Constitution, it is handed to the second parliamentary force - the Movement for Rights and Freedoms.

"Bulgaria is heading towards elections again’’, Gallup International Balkan Executive Director Parvan Simeonov said for BNR.

''If the second and third cabinet-forming mandates are unsuccessful, the president has the option to choose a caretaker prime minister from among several people. I have told the president that if there is no one else, then I can be the caretaker prime minister again", caretaker Premier Dimitar Glavchev said in Parliament.
