Consultations under President Rumen Radev with the representatives of the MECH party have begun, reports BNT. At the beginning of his address to them, he congratulated them on the election result.
"Even if you are the smallest political force in this parliament, in a highly fragmented parliament, every position and vote is of particular importance. So your opinion about political processes is important.
He asked them whether, in their opinion, the parliament has the political will and ability to produce a sustainable majority. And how they see their role in this parliamentary process.
Radostin Vasilev replied that the Bulgarian society is very divided and feels mistrust. As the main merit, he pointed to the "broken hope for change".
"In the past two years we have seen two major betrayals in this line that led to the creation of the SWORD. People don't trust what politicians say.
He pointed out that there are parties in this parliament that have not been trusted by the public to be there because of vote buying.
"A SWORD cannot be part of all this. And our desire from day one is to be the voice of the people".
He was categorical that MECH cannot negotiate with Peevski and Borisov.
"We will not support Borisov's cabinet".
In his words, MECH must show that there are people's representatives who are in politics and keep their word. Radostin Vassilev expressed doubt that this parliament will broadcast something stable.
"Declarations, cordons, eurozones - things that the Bulgarian society is not interested in.
According to him, Bulgarian society will have to go through another election, which will be a "catharsis".
"What MECH expects is not very promising, but what we are doing has a positive effect on confidence".
Radostin Vasilev stated that the goal of MECH is to return the lost trust of society.
