"GERB's proposal on Tuesday changes radically the priorities that we set our nine months ago. Instead of going on with efforts for reforms, the focus is placed on ministerial portfolios and struggling for positions," said Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov at the start of the cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

„We don't accept such replacement of priorities. Let us complete the tasks, which are set out. under the conditions that we agreed nine months ago. Once we have completed the steps that we set out for fight against corruption and reforms in the judicial system in the next few months, then we are ready to discuss with GERB how to go on forward, “ said Denkov.

„Now we need political courage to make the next steps, which are set out in the governance and legislative programme of this government," added Denkov.
