„Yes, Bulgaria” supports the candidacy of Atanas Atanasov, this is an opportunity to resolve the crisis with the election of the Speaker of the Parliament. This was stated by Ivaylo Mirchev from “Yes, Bulgaria”, part of "Democratic Bulgaria," in front of bTV.
According to Mirchev, support for Atanasov at the head of the legislative body does not mean support for Boyko Borisov as prime minister in a possible future government, as the GERB leader proposed some time ago.
Are we a very clear signal to GERB that with our votes Boyko Borisov cannot be elected prime minister, said Ivaylo Mirchev.
Borisov, at the beginning of this week, clearly said that he refuses to be prime minister, Mirchev also noted.
The nomination of Atanas Atanasov from “Democrats for a strong Bulgaria”, our partner in governance, is more in the direction of solving the parliamentary crisis. The National Assembly must begin work. It is not initial talk of a governing coalition. Yes, there should be such a conversation, but it cannot be tied to Borisov being prime minister in a similar management formula, Ivaylo Mirchev also said.
Earlier today, the National leadership of “Democrats for a strong Bulgaria” offered the coalition partners “Yes, Bulgaria“ and “We Continue the Change” that a common candidate of the coalition for the chairman of the 51st National Assembly (NA) - the chairman of the DSB Atanas Atanasov.
Support for the proposal also came from “We Continue the Change”.
