Parliament sceptical about PP-DB proposal to delay mandate by three months

Parliament's political forces reacted with a strong dose of scepticism to the eccentric proposal by "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" for Bulgaria's president Rumen Radev to delay handing over the second exploratory mandate for three months.
GERB-SDS said that it was ready to respond to the PP-DB invitation for talks on the anti-corruption declaration, but stressed that it would not support either the second or the third mandate. According to GERB-SDS, the three-month delay requested by the PP-DB is a waste of time.

"The more honest way would be to go to the polls again," stressed GERB's Denitsa Sacheva. 

"Translation from GERB-erian: empty rhetoric - YES; fight against corruption - NO," commented PP co-leader Kiril Petkov in "X".

The Vazrazhdane party said that it would support the PP-DB, but only if they agreed to Vazrazhdane's proposal for five referendums - on keeping the Bulgarian lev (and not adopting the euro - ed), on whether Bulgaria should give up its NATO membership, on the defence cooperation agreement with the US, on suspending military aid to Ukraine and on lifting sanctions against Russia.

The Velichie MPs will not support the PP-DB declaration or a proposed cabinet, said party leader Albena Pekova. 


MPs from the split Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), loyal to Delyan Peevski, who has been sanctioned for corruption under the Magnitsky Act, opposed the three-month delay in handing over the second mandate. According to them, there is no chance for a government after the rejection of a cabinet with the first mandate. Loyalists of DPS honorary leader Ahmed Dogan, on the other hand, said they would negotiate with the PP-DB.

The BSP said it was ready for dialogue, but "without preconditions".
