Sofia, Bulgaria - Following Bulgaria’s fifth consecutive parliamentary election in just two years, GERB-SDS, the largest party in the fragmented National Assembly, has signaled its willingness to engage in coalition talks to form a stable government.”We are talking to potential coalition partners, adn these are not new conversations,” said GERB-SDS MP Raya Nazaryan in an interview with BNT’s “the Day Begins” program. “We spoke with these same formations in the previous parliament. New elections will not lead to a significantly different distribution in the National Assembly; in contrast, the parliament is becoming even more fragmented.”
Nazaryan emphasized the party’s commitment to stability and the formation of a regular government. “Our priority is the stability of Bulgaria and the creation of a regular government,” she stated. “There is good news: after the turbulent process of electing a Speaker of the National Assembly, political parties have begun to talk to each other. Accordingly, we are starting negotiations specifically for the formation of a regular government.”
Acknowledging the fatigue from repeated elections, Nazaryan stressed the urgency of finding a solution. ”We realize that after seven consecutive early parliamentary elections, every effort must be made in this direction,” she said. “President Radev has also stated his willingness to give time for these negotiations.”
The outcome of these talks remains uncertain, but GERB-SDS’s willingness to engage in dialog offers a glimmer of hope for breaking the political deadlock that has plagued Bulgaria in recent years.
GERB: Focus on National Priorities,Not Partisan Interests
Bulgarian Lawmaker Calls for Unity Amidst Political Fragmentation
Sofia,Bulgaria – As Bulgaria braces for another round of elections,GERB lawmaker and former minister of Justice,Daniel Nazaaryan,is urging political parties to prioritize national interests over partisan agendas.
“Every political formation has its own narrow priorities, but we must seek out national issues that require a responsible approach,” Nazaaryan stated. He emphasized the need for consensus on basic topics such as public finances, financial stability, national security, attracting investments, and updating regulatory bodies.
“This process of dismantling the state must stop,” Nazaaryan declared, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
While acknowledging ongoing discussions with potential coalition partners, Nazaaryan expressed concern about the increasing fragmentation of the Bulgarian parliament. “We’ve spoken with these same formations in the previous parliament,” he noted. “New elections will not lead to a significantly different distribution in the National Assembly; in fact, it will likely become even more fragmented.”
Nazaaryan also ruled out negotiations for the second and third mandates to form a government. ”If a government is not formed now, Bulgarian citizens will be left betrayed,” he warned, emphasizing the potential consequences of political deadlock.
Bulgaria’s Political Future Hangs in the Balance as Negotiations for a New Government Begin
Sofia,Bulgaria – With the country facing a critical political juncture,Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has opted to delay the first mandate for forming a government,aiming to create space for crucial negotiations between political parties.
Former National Assembly speaker Tsveta Karayancheva, a key figure in the ongoing discussions, emphasized the gravity of the situation. “The President understands the criticality of the political situation and is acting in the national interest,” Karayancheva stated.
She outlined a structured approach to the negotiations, with daily meetings focused on specific sectors and policy areas. “There needs to be a clear framework for sectoral policies and who will be responsible for implementing them,” Karayancheva stressed.
The ultimate goal,she said,is a comprehensive coalition agreement that clearly defines political responsibilities. “The negotiations should conclude with a coalition agreement and a commitment to shared political accountability,” Karayancheva asserted.
Karayancheva called for a spirit of statesmanship and compromise during the talks, urging parties to move beyond partisan interests. “There should be no ultimatums or red lines, only a commitment to finding solutions that benefit the Bulgarian people,” she emphasized.
“If we fail to unite around key issues, each party will remain entrenched in their pre-election platforms, leaving Bulgarian society disillusioned,” Karayancheva warned.”Politics is about governing and addressing the needs of the people, not simply being an opposition force in parliament.”
The path forward remains uncertain, with the populist GERB-SDS party choosing to isolate itself from the negotiations. Their absence raises questions about the possibility of forming a stable government and the potential for another round of elections.
Bulgaria’s Opposition Leader Slams Government’s Economic Policies, Calls for Unity
Sofia, Bulgaria – In a fiery speech, GERB-SDS leader Boyko Borissov criticized the current government’s economic policies, accusing Finance Minister Asen vasilev of “destroying” the state budget. Borissov, speaking at a party event, contrasted the current administration’s approach with his own, highlighting the budget surpluses achieved during his previous terms.”Rather of being a guardian of the state budget, Asen Vasilev has become its destroyer,” Borissov declared. “Remember, during the three cabinets I led, financial discipline was a priority, and the budget was in surplus, not deficit.”
Borissov emphasized the need for unity in addressing the country’s challenges, stating, “We have nothing personal against anyone. We are all for helping to solve the problems.”
The GERB-SDS leader also weighed in on the ongoing controversy surrounding the immunity of MP Lena Borislavova. Borissov defended his party’s stance, stating that their position is “principled” and a response to what he perceives as overreach by the prosecution.
“Our position is a reaction to the actions of the prosecution in these processes,” Borissov explained. “We have always insisted on upholding the principle of separation of powers. if we give in, everything becomes very fragile, as it is now.”
Borissov’s comments come amidst growing public concern over the state of Bulgaria’s economy and the ongoing political turmoil.His words are likely to further fuel the debate surrounding the government’s performance and the role of the judiciary.
Bulgaria’s GERB Party Condemns “Unacceptable” Interference Between Politics and judiciary
Sofia, Bulgaria – GERB, Bulgaria’s largest political party, has strongly criticized what it calls ”unacceptable” interference between the country’s political and judicial systems.

The statement comes amid a wave of recent indictments against prominent political figures by the Bulgarian Prosecutor’s Office. GERB insists it has no interest in this heightened prosecutorial activity, notably when it targets political opponents.
