One hundred and counting

GALLERY: Boiko Borissov, centre, awaits the moment that he and his ministers will be sworn in on July 27 to formally succeed the ousted tripartite coalition of which the architect was President Georgi Purvanov – who would emerge, not unsurprisingly, as the chief critic of Borissov’s Government.

One hundred and counting

TEAMWORK? Members of Borissov’s Cabinet had their first, and perhaps last, public disagreement when Finance Minister Simeon Dyankov’s proposal to put a moratorium on pension and salary hikes in the fiscal plan to 2013 was publicly criticised by Labour Minister Totyu Mladenov. Borissov privately called them to order, and publicly likened the spat to a domestic disagreement. ‘The husband wants to buy a car, the wife wants clothes. Does that mean they have to get a divorce?’ Borissov said.
