The parliamentary party "There is such a people" (ITN) will not support a GERB cabinet. This was announced on Facebook by the leader of the party, Slavi Trifonov. Until today, no one had a constructive conversation with ITN, the leader complained. 

"Neither for the composition of the cabinet, nor for the structure, nor for the expertise of the people….That means only one thing. That the prepared cabinet with the first mandate is not an expert cabinet. What it is, I don't know... That's why ITN will neither participate nor support a GERB cabinet with the first mandate," writes Trifonov.

Last week, ITN promised to support the formula for an expert cabinet, proposed by the nominee for prime minister Mariya Gabriel.

Not a single person from GERB who has been a cabinet minister until now will be among the names in the "Gabriel" draft cabinet. This was stated by GERB MP and former energy minister Delyan Dobrev to bTV.
