No parliamentary elections should take place in Bulgaria until the ruling centrist-right GERB government is done building its highways, the country's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov believes.
"Who would vote for us before we are ready with our highways?" Borisov rhetorically asked.
The Prime Minister clarified that he meant two highways in particular – Struma and Trakiya. Once they are fully constructed, "there will hardly be any Bulgarian who would vote for another party besides GERB," he claimed on Thursday.
Borisov probably referred to the completion of Struma's first two Lots, as the highway is to be finished around 2020. However, he did rule out any possibility for snap elections.
"I do not want to hear any non-sense about snap elections," he declared, as cited by the BGNES news agency.
Bulgaria's next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2013, but members of the opposition and political analysts have hinted that the ruling party may resort to calling snap elections.
On Thursday, Borisov pointed out that the European Commission reimbursed Bulgaria's infrastructure money on December 15 last year, despite dark prognoses that it would not happen.
