Continue the Change (CC) leaders Kiril Petkov and Assen Vassilev met with voters in Plovdiv on Monday. "As long as [Boyko] Borisov and [Delyan] Peevski are in charge of GERB and Movement for Rights and Freedoms, we will not enter into coalitions with these parties, we will not work together because we have a radically different idea of how the country should develop," Vassilev told journalists.

He argued that the last three years have shown that when people's tax money reaches all people, municipalities and companies, the Bulgarian economy is growing and the debt-to-GDP levels are falling. 

"If you ask Bulgarians if they like the judicial system, if they feel that there is justice, 80 percent will say no," Petkov said. He pointed out that in the coalition's programme they put great emphasis on the judiciary, the Prosecution office and the regulators, whose heads should be replaced with fair competitions. We cannot work with Peevski and Borissov because they will not be ready to hand over this power and have normal European institutions, he added.
