The president insisted that Glavchev present a draft cabinet by Monday so that future elections could be held at the end of October.
I urge your government to raise in its authority the fight against the ugly phenomenon of vote-buying. I expect by Monday that you will present to me a composition of the Council of Ministers so that I can issue a decree for its appointment and you can take the oath on the same day. If successful, the elections will be held on October 27.
With these words, President Rumen Radev handed over a mandate to Dimitar Glavchev to form a caretaker government, with which to refute the allegations of political dependencies, reported a BGNES reporter.
"This responsibility has returned to you again. It is not right to extinguish the crisis in one institution with another institution important for financial stability. Along with the achieved results, suspicions of political dependence arose, you denied them, and now you can reject them in practice," said President Radev.
For his part, Glavchev promised to fulfil the promise of the head of state.
"I have nothing to be ashamed of the government of which I am the prime minister. We kept Bulgaria's path connected to Europe, we organized the elections well. I am a very passionate supporter of having regular governments. Speculations about political affiliations can be made, but they are a question of political agitation. The institutions must interact and work for the citizens. Let's do everything we have been doing so far," said Dimitar Glavchev.
In conclusion, he gave the call to quell the tension: "My main task is to remove the political tension, which is quite high. On Monday, I will present to you the composition of the official cabinet". | BGNES
