The article focuses on the assessment of the first 100 days of the Желязков cabinet in Bulgaria. The opposition party, "Continue the Change" (PP), expresses its concerns, while GERB leader Boyko Borisov emphasizes the need for stability.
PP criticizes the government, citing several key issues: the reappointment of Vladimir Malinow to head "Bulgargaz", the death of the mother of European prosecutor Teodora Georgieva, contracts for waste collection in Plovdiv and Burgas linked to controversial figures, and an alleged attempt to cover up a smuggling operation in Plovdiv. Additionally, PP points out issues with increased electricity prices and the impact on small businesses.
Boyko Borisov calls for efforts to ensure the cabinet lasts a full four years, seeking support from the opposition, including PP. He highlights the seemingly compliant behavior of DPS, a political party often associated with controversies. Borisov clarifies that decisions about new governing partners will be made following consultations with GERB, BSP, and ITN.
The article covers statements from key figures like Asen Vasilev and Kiril Petkov from PP, who offer varying levels of support for the cabinet contingent on specific actions, particularly related to ending ties with controversial figures. PP opposes removing the chairperson of the National Assembly, Nataliya Kiselova, for strategic reasons related to potential successors and avoiding further political instability.
