The new caretaker cabinet is not the president’s, Vice President Iliana Iotova says

Vice President Iliana Iotova stated that accusations will likely be targeted at the new caretaker cabinet that it will be used for political purposes.  

“This caretaker cabinet is not the president’s. It is time to take off all the masks and say that the amendments to the constitution which concern the caretaker cabinet were targeted against one man – Rumen Radev,” Iliana Iotova said for public service TV BNT, in a comment on the restricted powers of the head of state in the formation of a caretaker government. “These amendments opened Pandora’s box,” she said.

There are three scenarios after the upcoming snap election for parliament in the autumn, the vice president believes. The first is a minority government with a set programme with the consent of the majority in parliament and without entering into an actual coalition over a given period of time, the second – the coalitions established, and the third – a cabinet that is expert and technical in character.
