Bulgarian marginal nationalist party VMRO has declared that it has not scheduled any government negotiations with the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP).
VMRO has thus refuted a press release issued by BSP, in which the left-wing party claimed it would be holding talks with experts from several formations ahead of the formation of a new government next week.
Besides VMRO, the nationalist Ataka (Attack), the center-right Bulgaria for Citizens party and the Vox Populi party of punk rocker Svetoslav Vitkov were mentioned in the press release, local media remind.
VMRO has said in a statement that its potential support for BSP would depend on several conditions, including keeping the existing 10% flat tax rate and dealing with the demographic crisis.
On May 23, Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev handed the mandate to form a new government to BSP, the party which ranked second at the May general 12 elections, after the winner, center-right party Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) refused to do so.
Plevneliev handed the mandate to Plamen Oresharski, a non-partisan former Finance Minister endorsed for PM by BSP leader and PES president Sergey Stanishev.
