I sincerely hope that next week Bulgaria will have a regular government, said the co-chairman of the parliamentary group of “BSP-United Left“ Atanas Zafirov at a meeting with representatives of the Coalition Party “Podkrepa“, BTA reports. Among the topics discussed during the conversation were also the 2025 budget, the future of our coal-fired energy and the green transition.
No matter what we talk about, no matter what we promise here, without a regular government and political stability, everything remains in the realm of good wishes, Zafirov pointed out. Today and tomorrow are important days, I hope that this knot will finally be untied, he added and noted that everyone is making the necessary amount of compromises for this to happen.
Atanas Zafirov said that they are trying to form a working majority based on priorities, based on a program, and not floating, situational majorities, not assemblies, not cordons. For us, the people of labor, the social benefits of the people are vital issues that will be on our attention and which we will defend in a possible management program, he said. Since this will be a difficult cabinet, I extremely hope that it will receive the necessary tolerance of time from Bulgarian society initially, in order to start functioning in the best way, added Zafirov.
On Wednesday, GERB announced that they would resume negotiations for a government with “There is such a people“ (ITN) and „BSP-United Left“ and confirm the nomination of Rosen Zhelyazkov for Prime Minister.
After the meeting with the "Podkrepa" CT in front of journalists, the co-chairman of the "BSP-United Left" PG Atanas Zafirov said that they are participating in all possible talks with the ultimate goal of forming a sustainable government and again expressed hope that there will be such a government next week. „However, this cannot happen before the governing and collective bodies of all those involved, including „BSP-United Left“ have given their final opinion. Such forums are coming. I hope that by the end of the week they will have passed, and next week we will have clarity and readiness for government“, he pointed out.
