Amid escalating tensions within Bulgaria's political sphere, discussions between GERB and "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) have abruptly faltered once more. The breakdown stems from the latter's insistence on new conditions, leading GERB to withdraw from negotiations and call for snap elections.

The working groups of GERB-SDS and "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) on budget, finance and economic policy discussed the parameters of the budget for this year, which is still to be adopted.

The two coalitions are united around achieving a 3% budget deficit, keeping the tax levels, continuing on the path to the Eurozone and optimizing spending where possible.
