- Gen. Atanasov issued the draft program of the cabinet – 90% remain, the parties rewrite the remaining 10%
- 70:30 chance of no government. Asen Vasilev was persuaded to announce the ministers in advance, but he is convinced that they will be attacked in vain if he returns the mandate

This is included in the management program of the triple coalition for Asen Vasilev’s cabinet. Although the parties are still finalizing it and had an agreement to release it on Thursday, it was distributed – according to people in the know, by DB co-chairman Atanas Atanasov. 90% of what was written remains, but the other 10 are currently being corrected by the partners, the headquarters explained.

There is a 70:30 probability that there will be no government, however, Asen Vasilev’s team are realistic.
