The co-chairman of the parliamentary group of “BSP-United Left”, Atanas Zafirov, expressed hope that this country would have a regular cabinet next week.

“Today and tomorrow are important days, I hope that this knot will finally be untied,” the MP said at a meeting with representatives of the “Podkrepa” trade union. He added that everyone is making the necessary compromises for this to happen.

According to Atanas Zafirov, efforts are being made to form a working majority “based on priorities and on a program, and not on floating or situational majorities”

The first political force GERB-SDS is negotiating with “BSP-United Left” and ITN to form a cabinet. However, the votes of the three political forces are not enough to achieve a parliamentary majority.
