Hristo Ivanov commented that the party members didn’t let him go because he has unfinished business, but also that he does not intend to stay in office for long. He announced that serious preparations are underway for the local and European elections and that he personally has a feeling that early parliamentary elections are imminent. According to him, the governing structure is complex and problematic.
“Don't look for any specific conjunctural political meaning in this, I think that the transformation of the political system and the deep factors of instability will very likely lead to such (parliamentary elections). Nor do I intend to lead the policies of DB into this direction, nor is it something that we wave as a threat, is just part of an attempt for a much deeper analysis of what is happening around us,” said Ivanov.
