After the fourth parliamentary election in the past 18 months, Bulgaria’s route to forming a new government grew more challenging on Friday.
Today, Boyko Borissov, the center-right election victor, proposed a coalition that Kirill Petkov, the former prime minister of Bulgaria from December 2021 to August 2022, said he was not interested in joining because it relied on backing from the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The Let’s Continue Change party’s pro-Western founder Petkov claimed that a Euro-Atlantic government should be “without corruption,” condemning Borisov, who has previously been accused of wrongdoing.
Asen Vasiliev, a co-founder of Let’s Change, declared “We will not hold talks with Citizens for European Development in Bulgaria, nor will we take part in negotiations to form a government.”
