At a news briefing at the Vazrazhdane party’s headquarters here on Tuesday, deputy leader Tsoncho Ganev said that they "take a firm stand in opposition". In his words, Vazrazhdane has declined GERB-UDF’s invitation for talks on government formation because "policies that are not on people’s agenda will be pushed". Ganev said that his party will keep pursuing the priorities it has stood for so far.

Vazrazhdane were invited for talks with the first political force in the legislature, GERB-UDF, on Monday, but they did not show up.

Ganev said that Vazrazhdane are not happy with their showing in the June 9 snap parliamentary elections because the number of their seats in Parliament remains more or less unchanged. "We want to govern the country," Ganev said. He specified that his party’s goal has never been simply to be in power, part of the executive, but to propose policies that will facilitate the development of the country.

The deputy leader said that Vazrazhdane are seeking the reason for their unsatisfactory showing within themselves. He added that they also take into account the emergence of a new party that entered Parliament, referring to Velichie.
