The leader of “There is such a people” Slavi Trifonov dropped the bomb, announcing that his party no longer has a place in the ruling coalition and making it clear that the current government has already disintegrated. writes Telegraf bg.
The situation smells sharply of early elections, and Trifonov has criticized Prime Minister Kiril Petkov. One of them was that Teodora Genchovska was turned into a fictitious foreign minister, and the real role of diplomat number 1 was played by his man, his adviser on foreign policy, Vessela Cherneva, with whom they pursue their foreign policy.
