site.btaPresident to Wrap Up Consultations with Parliamentary Groups Wednesday

President Rumen Radev will conclude his consultations with the parliamentary groups of the 50th National Assembly on Wednesday, his Press Secretariat said. Radev will be meeting with representatives of There Is Such a People at 11 a.m., and with MPs of Velichie at 1 p.m.

Wednesday will be Day Three of Radev's consultations as a step towards the formation of a government. On Monday, Radev met with representatives of the three largest parliamentary groups: GERB-UDF, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, and Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria. Earlier on Tuesday, he met with MPs of Vazrazhdane and of BSP for Bulgaria.

By Constitution, the first two government mandates are bound to go to the two largest groups in Parliament, first to GERB-UDF and then, if it fails, to MRF. If they both fail to form a government, the President mandates a third parliamentary group at his discretion.
