The first thing that is striking is that the two parties with the most signed votes are "DPS-New Beginning" and GERB, with the champion in this list being "DPS-New Beginning" with over 1,100 signed votes in this sample alone. This is what Kiril Petkov from PP-DB commented on the Constitutional Court's decision on the legality of the parliamentary elections on October 27, 2024, reported by BTA.
What we have been talking about all along since the elections, we now have in numbers, said the co-chair of "Continuing the Change".
When asked whether this decision of the Constitutional Court will affect the ruling majority and whether they are ready to enter into talks with the ruling party, Kiril Petkov replied: "From our point of view, nothing has changed at this point. The sanitary cordon was not respected. So while "New Beginning" and Peevski are walking around like the ruling opposition, it is absurd to have any talks with them".
There is a mandate holder who has the obligation to secure a majority for a government, so the question is with the mandate holder, said the co-chairman of "Democratic Bulgaria" and chairman of DSB Atanas Atanasov.
According to Atanasov, it cannot be ignored that in this extremely important case "the prosecutor's office has once again stepped in with its boots on". I do not know whether they will not continue their actions to destabilize the state. According to her, the question of how the institutions will respond to such malicious actions on the electoral process is also extremely important.
The co-chair of the PP-DB parliamentary group, Nadezhda Yordanova, called not to use the Constitutional Court's decision for another political confrontation, but to find a way to a general political consensus and amend the Electoral Code.
According to her, the Constitutional Court's decision shows that there is a problem with the counting and reporting of votes. The problem is serious, it is legislative, it is also a matter of human errors - sometimes malicious, sometimes due to fatigue, Yordanova noted. Therefore, it is necessary for the National Assembly to reach a broad political consensus on how to fix this problem, to eliminate human error, including by introducing machines, she pointed out. According to her, what machines to have and how to change the technology must be the subject of a large political agreement. We are ready to work and participate in this process, added the co-chair of the PP-DB parliamentary group.
