The coalition “Stand up! Thugs out!” remains united, Tatyana Doncheva, chairperson of Movement 21 political party, which is part of the sixth largest formation in the new Parliament, said for BNT. 

In her words, the interview of lawyer Nikolay Hadzhigenov caused a sensation and an explanation was needed to calm things down. Yesterday, the co-chairs of “Stand up! Thugs out!” coalition Maya Manolova and Nikolay Hadzhigenov distanced from one another, because of a dispute over whether to form a new government quickly and accept the support of the Bulgarian Socialist Party and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms. Nikolay Hadzhigenov also said that he was ready to sacrifice himself and become a minister. According to Tatyana Doncheva, another 40-50 MPs are ready for the same sacrifice.
