‘This is not the time for early elections,’ said Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov at a GERB party conference. According to BTA, he was opposed to holding elections during the country’s planned adoption of the euro in 2026.
GERB chairman Boyko Borisov reiterated this position after a meeting of the party leadership. ‘Local party organisations do not want elections,’ he said. ‘During our term in office, we acted responsibly and formed a government. This is the fifth one we have put together,’ he added, accusing the opposition coalition We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (PP–DB) of failing to support the government on key Euro-Atlantic issues.
DPS–New Beginning leader Delian Peevski also ruled out a snap vote. 'There will be no elections. I said that a long time ago,’ he told reporters on the sidelines of parliament, according to BGNES. His party is not part of the government, but it does support the cabinet’s parliamentary majority.
