The proposed composition of the cabinet today has not been coordinated with the negotiating team of the WCC-DB. A few of those nominated as ministers have not given their consent to participate in the cabinet.
I have prepared a declaration stating that I do not want to be nominated to this Council of Ministers. This was stated by Nikolay Denkov, who together with the party activists of the WCC-DB coalition emphasized that they did not give their consent to participate in this composition of the government announced by Maria Gabriel earlier today, BGNES reported.
There is also no agreement on the text of the agreement, there are controversial texts. The only signature on the agreement is that of Maria Gabriel, there are no signatures from the WCC-DB. There is no decision to participate in such a composition of the Council of Ministers or consent to such a text of the agreement. We need a few hours, that is what we told them on Monday, in order to obtain the consent of our collective bodies. Everything happens on the first day of the exploratory mandate, nothing requires such haste, Denkov said.
We believe that in recent days there has been no willingness on the other side to negotiate, but only a simulation, he noted.
I had confidence in Gabriel, today it was lost. She succumbed to pressure from Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski I guess. This is what the co-chairman of WCC-DB Kiril Petkov said.
Gabriel showed that she does not have the qualities to be prime minister. I feel sorry for her, Petkov added.
I am ashamed of Borisov because he never once appeared to negotiate with us, he did not pick up the phones, he used 4 women, hiding behind them. The wolf changes his fur, but not his temper. Borisov chose perhaps his friendship with Pevski over Bulgaria, Petkov added.
There were attempts to blow up the talks. Today we parted ways with Gabriel and the negotiating team without a clear agreement. We do not have a signed agreement, announced DB co-chair Hristo Ivanov.
They broke off the negotiations today without any reason, Ivanov added. /BGNES
