After receiving the folder from Nikolay Gabrovsky, President Rumen Radev announced that he would propose to Parliament to debate and vote on the draft composition of the regular government as soon as possible. This is expected to happen on Wednesday.
Last week, the important question was raised whether Gabrowsky’s cabinet would end up being elected by using MPs who would not participate in the vote, thus reducing the required number of votes. In this option, those of GERB-UNDF, MRF and „Balgarski vazhod“ (Bulgarian rise) may be enough. Whether this will happen, we will find out in the coming days.
