Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) co-leader Hristo Ivanov urged Bulgarians to go out and vote Sunday and choose the least evil or whatever good they see.

"Today the people are pronouncing themselves and I hope that all Bulgarian citizens understand that this can only happen today and it is very important to urge them to go out and vote, not to leave Bulgaria to its own devices and to go with the tide, because they will certainly not like that," Ivanov told journalists after voting in 93rd Alexander Teodorov-Balan Secondary School for the national and European Parliament. If people stay home, they'll get twice the dose of what they dislike in Bulgarian politics, Ivanov said, calling on Bulgarians to go out and cast their ballot.

"At the parliamentary elections I voted for having a majority for a normal European Bulgaria, which means to continue forward with the reforms and development forward not turn back and towards the East. In the European elections, I voted to send people to the European Parliament of whom we will not be ashamed. In simple terms, I voted for not leaving Bulgaria in the hands of Peevski," Ivanov said.

Responding to a question on whether the coalition was ready to negotiate after the elections with GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, Ivanov said there was no option for negotiations with the MRF, while GERB have "burned all possible points of contact over the last months".  He expressed hope that a way would be found to avoid new elections in the autumn.
