"We are extremely sceptical about the apparent openness to dialogue of There is Such a People (ITN). We warn you to be extremely cautious about their declared intentions to co-operate, because they could and should have done so while they were in government." 

With these words of the outgoing Minister of Sports Radostin Vassilev began the negotiations of the Socialist Party with the breakaway ITN MPs to form a new cabinet.

Vassilev also said that the Bulgarian people do not want early elections, so the now independent MPs will cooperate as long as there are no irreconcilable differences. The former ITN deputies are acquainted with the corrections of There is Such a People to the government programme and will express their opinion on them tomorrow.
