Elections in Bulgaria: BSP will Not Form a Coalition with GERB and its Leader will Not Resign
“The Bulgarian Socialist Party will not participate in a coalition with GERB and DPS”. This was stated by the leader of the party, Kornelia Ninova, at a briefing on the results of the vote.
"For us, this is a principled position and it is necessary to know who is placed where under the axis of ‘circles of companies’ or the rule of law. We are determined to continue our fight to change the GERB model. Unprincipled alliances do not lead to good either for the state or for the party. This is an attempt by the people behind the scenes to hide," Ninova said.
The socialists would not support an expert government either.
"An expert cabinet is an attempt to hide political leaders from responsibility. We are for taking responsibility, especially in these difficult times. We do not accept experts to be responsible, and politicians to wait for us to return to the scene again. It is not responsible, it is not statesmanlike, not masculine, if you will," commented Ninova.
Nevertheless, it is better to have a cabinet than new early elections, commented Kornelia Ninova and added that they expect GERB to form a government.
