GERB Opposes Retail Price Cap Amid Boycott and Public Concerns
GERB has expressed its opposition to implementing a price cap on retail sales in supermarket chain
Bulgaria’s predominantly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) will not enter a coalition with either the center-right GERB party or the ultranationalist Ataka (Attack), DPS leader Lyutvi Mestan has declared.
Mestan told the Bulgarian National Radio on Tuesday that DPS and Ataka have not merely political differences but are “based on different values.”
Mestan also declared that his party’s stance on GERB is “perfectly clear and definite.”
“With the way it ruled the country, GERB deserved their total isolation,” he stated, referring to the fact that no parties in Parliament are willing to negotiate with the center-right outfit.
The DPS leader noted that his party would consider entering a coalition with the Bulgarian Socialist Party only after it gets acquainted with its governing program.
The liberal Movement for Rights and Freedoms's 10.46% can get it 33 seats in Parliament. The predominantly ethnic Turkish party is expected to cooperate with BSP.
With 27.06% of ballots, the Socialists are likely to receive 87 of Bulgaria's 240 MP seats.
Ataka, who are the fourth and last party to enter parliament this time over (7.39%), is likely to get 23 MP seats.
The center-right GERB of former PM Boyko Borisov, which again came out first at the vote with 30.74%, is likely to get 97 MPs.
Ivan Portnih, candidate of Bulgaria’s formerly ruling center-right party GERB, has won the battle for mayor of the coastal city of Varna by a slim margin.
Two candidates are vying to be mayor of Bulgaria's third-largest city and summer capital, Varna on the Black Sea coast.
The Sofia City Prosecutor's Office final count of the alleged illegal ballots discovered at a printing house in Kostinbrod hours ahead of the May 12 early elections is 480 000.
The number of apparently illegally printed ballots for Bulgaria's May 12 early general elections has swollen to at least 400,000, according to an announcement by the prosecution.
Bulgaria's formerly-ruling, center-right GERB Party has sent its claim contesting and asking to void the May 12 early general elections results to all European institutions.
Bulgaria's Constitutional Court has decided to try the claim contesting and asking to void the May12 early general elections results.
