The leader of GERB Boyko Borisov stated that the support of the MPs from the party for the candidacy of Associate Professor Natalia Kiselova for the Speaker of the National Assembly is a big compromise. Borisov commented on the political crisis in the country at a meeting with the party's youth structures, which took place in Targovishte.
In the words of Boyko Borisov, GERB-SDS did everything possible to overcome the parliamentary crisis. According to him, the other political forces elect an acting prime minister, not the speaker of the National Assembly.
"We proposed Borisov-Nazaryan, we withdrew them, we proposed Atanasov - they don't want him, Associate Professor Kiselova, we supported her too, what didn't GERB do yet. However, the goal is an acting prime minister.
Borisov also said that the PP-DB is forming a coalition with "Vazrazhdane".
"The colleagues from "Revival" they also said publicly that Petkov went to bargain with them to appoint Boyko Rashkov as Speaker of the Parliament to become acting Prime Minister. In such a combination that Silvi Kirilov becomes the interior minister, these people are used to having a club and using it in an unforgiving way".
Before the information appeared that General Atanas Atanasov would be the new PP-DB nominee for Speaker of the National Assembly, Boyko Borisov said that his candidacy was an acceptable option.
"Everyone talks about trust, isn't it? I trust him. He was a colleague of mine. Still, there is this hardening of the officer".
