Bulgaria TV Show Host 'Yet to Decide' on Founding Party after Referendum

Bulgarian talkshow host Slavi Trifonov has said it "will depend on circumstances" whether or not he will set up a party after a referendum held along with the presidential elections.

Following the three-question referendum on the voting system, Trifonov has told the media his referendum proves the status quo can be changed.

In the referendum proposed by his show, voters overwhelmingly backed on Sunday the introduction majority voting and compulsory voting and a cut in state subsidies.

However, voter turnout is yet to be calculated for each question to find out whether it will be binding on Parliament.

"We defeated this system made so that there are no referenda," he has added.
