Dragomir Stoynev, an MP from the BSP-United Left coalition, told BNR that the election of the parliamentary speaker was an agreement between political forces to stabilise the political situation. On 6 December, St Nicholas' Day, the 51st National Assembly finally managed to elect a speaker at its 11th attempt. Natalia Kiselova, a doctor of constitutional law and lecturer at Sofia University, was nominated by the BSP - United Left and elected with 140 votes in the 240-member Bulgarian Parliament.
"The political crisis will be far from resolved until there is a majority in the National Assembly to support a government for the next four years," Stoynev warned. According to him, the key to resolving the crisis is for the first and second political forces, GERB-SDS and We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB), to start talking to each other and come to an understanding. In his words, DPS - New Beginning of Delyan Peevski is already preparing for the next elections.
