After casting his ballot in a Bankya school in the local election runoff on Sunday, GERB leader Boyko Borissov told journalists he had fulfilled his promise. "I see that the [voting] machines are breaking down mostly in Sofia and Varna, because that is one of the schemes: if a machine supposedly breaks down, if there is a duplicate, they can manipulate the slips [issued by the machine upon voting]," he argued.

"I see that they have new mates, they better pay attention to whom they are playing with, they better not say afterwards that [President Rumen] Radev is the bad guy," Borissov commented, adding that it will become clear later what the consequences for the cities are.

"What do those who talk about the voter turnout expect it to be, given that three years ago they raised the fists and made the parties hate each other," he also commented.

"They think that when they table in Parliament the package of tax bills, which will be discussed at an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers on Monday, we will support them. That will not happen," the GERB leader said firmly.
