There Is Such A People

In a statement, Toshko Yordanov from "There Is Such a People" (TISP) announced that the party is submitting a complaint to the Constitutional Court seeking partial annulment of the recent elections in Bulgaria. The complaint, which will be filed within 20 minutes, has gathered 67 signatures, surpassing the minimum requirement of 48.

The 50th National Assembly of Bulgaria concluded its final session in a chaotic atmosphere, marked by physical confrontations and a failure to secure a quorum. Political groups "Revival" (Vazrazhdane) and "There Is Such a People" (TISP) blocked parliamentary proceedings, aiming to halt amendments related to the Recovery and Resilience Plan and the Maritsa Iztok power plant.

The Bulgarian parliament has rejected a proposal to ease the conditions for holding referendums. The proposed changes, introduced by "There Is Such a People" (TISP), sought to adjust the Law on Direct Participation of Citizens in State Power and Local Self-Government to make it easier for referendums to be valid.

Bulgaria's Central Election Commission (CEC) has authorized 24 parties and 9 coalitions to participate in the upcoming early parliamentary elections on October 27. This marks a slight increase from the previous elections held on June 9, where 20 parties and 11 coalitions were registered.

Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, has outlined his strategy for forming a coalition government following the upcoming elections. He has indicated that he will seek alliances with the parties from the previous "assembly" partnership, which included GERB and "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria," as well as with the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and "There Is Such a People" (TISP).

The right-wing party "Revival" (Vazrazhdane) has once again failed in its attempt to initiate a referendum aimed at preserving the Bulgarian lev. The proposal for a national poll asking, "Do you agree that the Bulgarian lev should be the only official currency in Bulgaria until 2043?" was rejected.

Bulgaria will hold a snap parliamentary election, its seventh in just three years, on October 27, President Rumen Radev has said, following the failure of its political parties to agree a coalition government.

Radev said a caretaker government led by Dimitar Glavchev would be sworn in Bulgaria's parliament on Tuesday to steer the Black Sea nation until the election.

Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva has firmly denied any claims of political pressure influencing her decisions. Speaking to journalists about her recent meeting with President Rumen Radev, she addressed the president's rejection of her proposed cabinet, which included Kalin Stoyanov remaining as Minister of Internal Affairs.

Slavi Trifonov, the leader of "There Is Such a People" (TISP), announced that the parliamentary group will return the third exploratory mandate for forming a regular government unfulfilled.

Discussions between "There Is Such a People" (TISP) and the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) on supporting the third mandate began with a positive tone, focusing on common ground.
