Patriotic Front
May Withdraw Support for Cabinet
over Deputy Minister Appointment


Sofia, November 18 (BTA) - The Patriotic Front (PF) may withdraw
its support for the cabinet after Orhan Ismailov of the
Reformist Bloc was appointed deputy defence
minister, said Tuesday PF leader Valeri Simeonov on national
television.

Simeonov deemed unacceptable the appointment of a member of an
ethnic party to the post. Ismailov is a member of the Freedom
and Dignity party, a partner in the Reformist Bloc, formed
mainly by former members of the Movement for Rights and
Freedoms. PK/PP
