“The news from yesterday is that we have a cabinet composition. Today’s news is that we have held talks on how we should secure a majority for constitutional reform. Today we talked about it”, said Academician Denkov.

“I approached these conversations with reason, not emotion. And there is a result. In addition to the composition of the government, we also have a majority for constitutional reform”, announced Gabriel.

She thanked the GERB-SDS, PP-DB and DPS parliamentary groups for their patience and dialogue. “They put the interests of the citizens above the party interests and clearly stated the Euro-Atlantic orientation of the country,” added Gabriel.

“Every Bulgarian citizen wants to live in a country whose institutions are stable. Apart from the laws and regulations, it depends on the people who work in the institutions. They must be professionals. We stand behind every employee in the administration who meets the criteria and has proven with his work that he protects the interests of the citizens and the state”, said Maria Gabriel.

“Our program envisages working hard on adopting laws from the National Assembly for transparent and responsible administration, providing continuous monitoring and feedback to citizens, quality guaranteed services for citizens. All civil servants who perform their duties in a politically neutral manner and are in accordance with the laws of the country can rest assured of their performance. Our actions will be guided by the laws and the rule of law,” Maria Gabriel emphasized.

Denkov specified what they discussed today with the DPS.

“We talked about how the relevant changes to the Constitution should be made, how to approach the change of regulators, so that no one feels excluded from the processes, and this will happen clearly and transparently. For example, for the regulators, the candidates will be discussed, but they will be presented in the National Assembly. The discussions were of this type, about mechanisms, not about hidden agreements”, he said.
