"The first step of a big process" - this is how the co-chairman of "We Continue the Change" Kiril Petkov defined the possible unification of his party with the coalition Democratic Bulgaria for the parliamentary elections on April 2. In his words, the unification of good forces will involve "democratic communities, parties, people with causes and activities, with the idea of Bulgaria being a different and prosperous country". Kiril Petkov attended the National Conference of the "Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria" party - part of the DB, where the general turnout for the elections was discussed.


Atanas Atanasov, DSB leader and co-chairman of "Democratic Bulgaria", said that he expected the coalition with "We continue the change" to win the elections. "If we want to break the feudal dominions of the GERB in the big cities, we must not allow official power or a government dominated by the GERB to rule, because the corrupt practices with which the local government is controlled are known to everyone," he commented.
