Vazrzhdane is determined not to be in floating majorities together with GERB-UDF and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF). "We won't participate in floating majorities together with GERB-UDF and MRF," MP Tsoncho Ganchev of Vazrazhdane said here Wednesday. He was speaking to the press after a meeting with Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB), held to discuss a declaration and a legislative agenda proposed by CC-DB.

Ganev said that CC-DB was represented only by DB. He also said that DB declined support for a declaration that Vazrazhdane had put forward.

The declaration which Vazrazhdane put forward to Parliament on Tuesday contains seven points expressing the will to hold five referendums (Bulgaria's membership of NATO and the eurozone entry, assistance to Ukraine, the deployment of US military bases in Bulgaria, renegotiating the conditions for membership of the EU) and adopting a law on the registration of foreign agents.

Speaking on Nova TV Wednesday morning, Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov said if CC-DB don’t accept Vazrazhdane's proposal, the country will be going to elections.

CC-DB asked the President delay by three months the handing of the second cabinet-forming mandate to their parliamentary group to allow them time to seek broad support in Parliament for the declaration and legislative proposals.

Tsoncho Ganev said, "The items in the declaration and the bills they are proposing is not what divides us. These bills are important and have to be adopted. The problem is that we don't trust this coalition. We don't believe their intent to fight the deep state impersonated by GERB and MRF because they are holding talks with them."

He also said that his party has offered to give up any offices in the executive in exchange for the policies they want to push through. "We are ready for dialogue but on the basis of principles - not offices or quotas in the state regulators," he said.
