The name of the coalition "BSP for Bulgaria" remains unchanged. All participants in the new coalition will present their candidates for MPs, the BSP announced. Talks for including other parties and civic organizations in the coalition continue.

Yesterday, BSP leader Kornelia Ninova announced that the BSP and three other formations - ABV, "Normal State" and Movement 21, have agreed to form a large left-wing coalition.
