Bulgaria’s embattled Socialist-backed government has to resign in order to appease protesters and bring the state back into working regime, the former prime minister argues.
“It is imperative that the government resigns and new elections are held. Bulgaria has ground to a halt and it has been like this for months,” Boyko Borisov commented on Friday.
Despite mass protests, Bulgaria’s Socialist-backed government, led by Plamen Oresharski, has refused to step down, saying it would lead to a "bigger political crisis".
Bulgaria has already suffered a period of political paralysis.
Its centre-right Prime Minister Boiko Borisov resigned in February after big street protests about high electricity prices, austerity measures and mismanagement.
Elections were not held for three months, after which Mr Borisov emerged with a narrow lead.
However opposition parties refused to share power with him and eventually patched together their own coalition.
