site.btaVazrazhdane Would Not Support Anybody Else's Cabinet, Hopes to Be Second Largest Political Force

In an election night video posted on the social networks, the leader of the nationalist Vazrazhdane party, Kostadin Kostadinov, reiterated that they would not back another party's government and expressed hope that his party would emerge second political force. "Voter turnout was terribly low," he said.

He also said, "Anything can be rigged but not the voter turnout. Today the Bulgarian people gave their own country a big slap on the face. Bulgarian people said that this country is not theirs and this is perhaps the most important takeaway from these elections. We have a most frustrated, increasingly alienated and apathetic people. Any oligarch who can mobilize a structure can get his own party into parliament to use it to trade in power. The best thing about recent years is that we have had the right to elect. But now 70% are giving that up, and that is the same as giving up freedom. We will continue to try to convince people that the salvation of the Bulgarian people is in their own hands. It is up to each and every one of us to decide the future of Bulgaria."

He thanked everyone who voted for his party.
