The co-chairman of Democratic Bulgaria, Hristo Ivanov, said he was ready to take responsibility and become prime minister if necessary. In an interview with Free Europe, he stressed that “there are other solutions to this post” and that is why it is not on the agenda at the moment.
Ivanov complained about the lack of dialogue with Slavi Trifonov’s party “There is such a people”. According to him, “Democratic Bulgaria” has many times tried to start a conversation with their representatives on policies and programs, not on the distribution of positions, but still unsuccessfully. According to him, “There is such a people” is a logical partner for government, as it supported last year’s protests.
“The explanation for the lack of conversation between the colleagues from” There is such a people “is that there is still no government for preliminary negotiations. However, a serious conversation is needed, which stems from the understanding that after we separated GERB from power, we must let’s start separating the top of the MRF from it, “Ivanov added.
Asked about a possible dialogue with the BSP and the MRF, the co-chair of Democratic Bulgaria said he was ready to talk to everyone on important topics such as constitutional changes, where broad majorities are needed.
“If there are political forces that are ready to work on our proposals, we would allow the possibility for them to become part of a majority that would support the cabinet without being part of the coalition,” Hristo Ivanov said.
