The center-right Bulgaria for Citizens party has declared that it would not back a government led by the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP).
The center-right outfit founded by former European Commissioner Meglena Kuneva has told local media that it would not take part in a future Cabinet formed by BSP Prime Minister hopeful Plamen Oresharski.
Bulgaria for Citizens official Petar Nikolov has stated that BSP’s government would be political rather than based on experts, according to Standart News.
Nikolov also believes that snap elections might take place as early as the summer of 2014.
Bulgaria for Citizens failed to overcome the 4% election threshold and enter Parliament at the May 12 vote. However, BSP has declared that it would seek talks with the party prior to announcing the country’s new government.
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.
