All leading Bulgarian media today focus on the topic of possibility for forming a new cabinet within this Parliament. "Cabinet being formed during Mercury retrograde," Trud writes. "If there is no government until January 22, this will be abuse of the Constitution. Upon failure of the third mandate, President Rosen Plevneliev is obliged to appoint a caretaker government,” says in an interview professor Plamen Kirov. "Negotiations between GERB, the Reformist Bloc and the Patriotic Front: agreement for cabinet with Prime Minister of the Reformist Bloc", writes "Capital Daily", pointing out that negotiations could quite legitimately continue until mid-January. The prime minister will be a member of the Reformist Bloc, while GERB would leave some of its ministers from the previous cabinet in their positions, we read in "24 Hours". There is already a majority to back the new cabinet. It is brought together by the management program adopted two years ago, which partners from GERB and the Reformist Bloc want to complete. Petar Moskov is one of the names who could possibly become the new Prime Minister, newspapers write.

This becomes clear from the results of a survey of the Bulgarian Industrial Association, published in "Sega."
