Bulgaria needs a broad consensus government that will take up ideas from all parties according to Vice-President Margarita Popova.
"A program cabinet must be fleshed out to include all parts of the political spectrum," said Popova in an interview for Nova TV Sunday.
"I don't like the idea to isolate the people who voted for the party that won the election, so that they are not represented in the government at all," added the Bulgarian VP.
She was referring to former ruling center-right GERB party, which came out first at the vote last Sunday, getting 97 MPs out of 240, but is very unlikely to get support for a new cabinet from other parties.
Before being elected to the VP position in the fall of 2011, Popova acted as Minister of Justice in the cabinet of GERB leader an then Bulgarian PM Boyko Borisov.
In the interview Sunday, the Bulgarian VP also spoke favorably of an unusuall call on the part of GERB for annulment of election results due to violations on the ban on canvassing in the day preceding the vote, the so-called election day.
"The cancellation of election results is a democratic procedure vested in an independent judicial body - the Constitutional Court - and we shouldn't be branding it as "dangerous" in advance," commented Popova.
At the same time, the Vice-President affirmed that she is working independently of any partizanship and called on all parties to responsibly work towards a cabinet that will be able to bring stability to Bulgaria.
