The return of the second mandate was not unexpected, deputy chairman of the BSP Kristian Vigenin said. According to him, forming a government within the framework of the 50th parliament is increasingly difficult to achieve. 


However, the BSP are ready to try to form an expert cabinet without the participation of politicians, political leaders, with a program agreed upon by all parliamentary forces, if they received the third mandate. That is why the socialists suggest that President Rumen Radev should make another round of consultations with the formations represented in parliament before handing over the third and last mandate, BNR reporter Maria Fileva informed.


Later in the day, the There Is Such a People party (ITN) said that it was "absolutely" ready to accept a third mandate if President Rumen Radev made such a decision.


In a written statement to the media, the Movement For Rights and Freedoms' (DPS) co-leader Dzhevdet Chakarov said that the MPs around honorary DPS leader Ahmed Dogan who had left or been expelled from the movement were ready to take part in talks on the possibilities of forming a government with the third mandate.
