SOFIA-SABA
Bulgaria's caretaker PM-Designate Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva has failed to form a cabinet as the country's president Radev Monday objected to the candidate interior minister Kalin Stoyanov, Bulgaria's news agency has (BTA) reported.
"President Rumen Radev Monday set a precedent in Bulgaria's contemporary history Monday morning as he refused to decree a new caretaker cabinet proposed by prime minister-designate Goritsa Grancharova-Kozhareva because of Kalin Stoyanov's nomination for caretaker interior minister," the BTA reported.
"Kozhareva said that the proposed cabinet will have two priorities: to organize and conduct fair elections, and to stick to Bulgaria's Euro-Atlantic orientation.
The President gave Grancharova-Kozhareva until 3 p.m. on Monday to propose a different interior minister. The PM-designate said that she made a well-informed decision and would not back down.
Radev said that, in this case, the new caretaker cabinet will not be sworn in by Parliament on Tuesday and the next early parliamentary elections will not be held on October 20 as initially planned."
