Radev

Michael O'Flaherty, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, has urged Bulgarian President Rumen Radev not to approve the newly passed law banning the discussion of LGBTQ+ topics in schools. O'Flaherty made this appeal via a post on the "X" platform on Monday.

President Rumen Radev has appointed Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva as the new acting Prime Minister and expects her to propose a caretaker government by August 19. During a meeting at the presidential residence on Dondukov 2, Radev outlined the timeline and expectations for the formation of the new government.

Bulgaria is heading to its seventh election in three years after the Speaker of the National Assembly, Raya Nazaryan, refused President Rumen Radev's offer to be the next acting Prime Minister. The two discussed this possibility in a meeting at the presidency after "There Is Such a People" (TISP) returned the unfulfilled third mandate.

Delyan Peevski, co-chairman of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), has leveled new accusations against President Rumen Radev, alleging the President's dependency problems. Speaking to journalists at the National Assembly, Peevski claimed, "How many coffees does Radev have with the chief prosecutor? Enough already; all the masks will fall. I will get to the bottom of this, Mr.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev asserted that he does not involve himself in the internal matters of political parties. This statement came in response to criticisms from DPS leader Delyan Peevski, whom Radev accused of spreading unfounded conspiracy theories and creating media distractions.

Delyan Peevski, chairman of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) parliamentary group, accused Bulgarian President Rumen Radev of attempting to split the DPS party and undermine the National Assembly. Peevski claimed that Radev is using his influence to orchestrate the removal of Parliament Speaker Raya Nazaryan.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev handed over the third exploratory mandate for forming a government to the parliamentary group of "There Is Such a People" (TISP), emphasizing the importance of creating a stable and effective government. He highlighted that this is the last opportunity for the 50th National Assembly to establish a government and make a meaningful impact.

President Radev made his initial comments on the recent explosions in Elin Pelin, stressing the critical importance of following safety protocols when dealing with hazardous materials. He conveyed his deepest condolences to the family of Associate Professor Petar Shishkov, who tragically died in the incident.

Acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev has confirmed the appointment of Nikolay Nenchev, the former Minister of Defense, as the temporary manager of Bulgaria's embassy in Ukraine. Glavchev asserts that this decision is in line with the proper procedures and does not require a presidential decree.

President Rumen Radev has stated that Nikolay Nenchev does not possess the necessary qualifications to serve as Bulgaria's ambassador to Ukraine. According to the Bulgarian Constitution, ambassadors are appointed by presidential decree based on proposals from the Council of Ministers, as noted in a statement from the president's press office.
