Bulgaria's conservative Order, Law and Justice, RZS, party, has welcomed Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's preparedness to call early general elections in the autumn, urging him to stick to his commitments for once in his political career.

If this scenario unfolds, Bulgaria will face a "three-in-one" vote, including parliamentary, local and presidential elections.

The issue of a snap vote surfaced after the May 20 incident in which nationalist activists assaulted praying Muslims in front of the Banya Bashi mosque in downtown Sofia. In an ensuing interview for bTV's morning broadcast, Prime Minister Borisov condemned the attack organized by the far-right Ataka party, urging it to take responsibility for its actions.

According to the Bulgarian conservative party, a snap vote will make it clear whether withdrawing support from the Borisov Cabinet has been an apt move.

RZS even goes so far as to suggest that Borisov should resort to summoning a Constituent National Assembly to draft a new Constitution instead of introducing patchwork amendments concerning financial stability to the existing one.

According to RZS' statement, such a move would be backed by a large part of Bulgarians, which should have been been predicted by a natural-born populist like Borisov.

According to RZS, Borisov's plan is to compete with the presidential candidate of ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) at the run-off.

The conservative political formation believes that the survival of the Borisov government now depends on purchasing the support of individual MPs from separate groups and on the secret support of DPS.

RZS urges the Prime Minister to officially distance himself from the "anti-Constitutional twin parties" Ataka and DPS and denounce their parliamentary support for his government.

"It is absurd for the instigator of a regime resembling a police state, who turned the illegal use of secret surveillance devices, otherwise uncommon for a democratic state, into a widespread practice, to accuse a parliamentarily represented political party of deploying spy tactics", RZS declares, reminding of Borisov's election promises of transparency in GERB`s rule.

"If Borisov feels so worried about RZS' method of receiving information about the goings-on at senior governance levels, it will do him good to take a closer look at his closest circles. He will find out that the Ministry of Interior is a joint stock company of Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov.", RZS concludes.
