Bulgarian former ruling party GERB's parliamentary group is ready to stop boycotting parliamentary sittings if it gets adequate treatment from political rivals, stated GERB chair and former PM Boyko Borisov.
"We are ready to return to parliament if Bulgarian Socialist Party leader Sergey Stanishev makes his amends," said Borisov after meeting socialist European Parliament President Martin Schulz.
Saturday Schulz is in Sofia for a Party of European Socialists Council at which he was nominated candidate for future President of the European Commission.
Stanishev, himself a former Bulgarian PM, now chairs both the Bularian Socialists and PES.
Although with 97 MPs out of 240 GERB has the largest parliamentary group in Bulgaria, it has found itself in isolation from the other three parliamentary parties, and was unable to form a cabinet.
Bulgaria's current government, led by PM Plamen Oresharski, was elected with the votes of the Socialist Party and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, who together have exactly 120 MP seats.
Fourth parliamentary party, nationalists Ataka, were seen as instrumental in ensuring the quorum needed to elect a cabinet, in the face of GERB's boycotting.
The hypothetical involvement of Bulgaria's Socialists with Ataka was among the topics discussed at Saturday's PES Council in Sofia, with senior PES functionaries expressing a critical stance.
After the meeting, Borisov stressed that his conversation with Martin Schulz had passed in a constructive and friendly tone, and described the EP President as being currently one of the top political leaders in the EU.
