"We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) will not enter into a coalition with GERB, while the leader of MRF Delyan Peevski manages this party. This was stated to bTV by the co-chairman of the PP party Kiril Petkov, emphasizing that the decision will not be influenced by the election results.

According to Kiril Petkov, Dimitar Glavchev, who has been nominated as caretaker prime minister - former MP from GERB and current chairman of the Audit Chamber, someone else ordered the cabinet and he did not have the right to make an independent decision about any minister. "I am absolutely sure and I can assume that these are Delyan Peevski and Boyko Borisov", stressed the politician.

Kiril Petkov also said that if the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhivko Kotsev, who submitted his resignation and withdrew it the next day, did so under pressure from the I.F. chief prosecutor Borislav Sarafov, it is proper for judge Daniela Taleva to initiate a procedure and investigate the state prosecutor.
