Reformist Bloc Presents to GERB Platform for Governing Majority in 43rd National Assembly

Sofia, October 15 (BTA) - The negotiating team of the Right-wing
Reformist Bloc (RB) Wednesday went to the consultations with
GERB in Parliament with a platform for forming a responsible,
governing political majority in the 43rd National Assembly.

The Wednesday talks GERB held with RB were the third in a series
of consultations scheduled for this week between the first
political force and the parties to be represented in the next
Parliament.

The Reformist Bloc's document, which is addressed to GERB leader
Boyko Borissov and the party's negotiating team and which was
handed out to the media, lists the main political goals in four
points. The first target is to dismantle the model of merger of
the political, economic, judicial and media powers. The
Reformists describe as a political bearer of this model the
Bulgarian Socialist Party, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms,
Ataka and Bulgaria without Censorship, and commit to the
isolation of these formations from the political power during
the mandate of the 43rd National Assembly.

The second political goal listed in the platform is a radical
reform in courts and the prosecuting magistracy, including the
introduction of e-justice.

The platform lists as key priorities an active participation in
the forming of strong and uniform positions of NATO and the EU,
as well as a stand against any acts of national populism,
xenophobia, racism, religious fundamentalism and infringement of
human rights.

To implement these goals, RB undertakes to elaborate a specific
programme and a calendar of reforms, and guarantees it will
uphold this programme throughout the mandate of the 43rd
National Assembly.
