Party leaders vote as Purvanov calls for speedy formation of Government
President Purvanov has said that he would like to see a new Government formed as soon as possible, following the parliamentary elections of Sunday July 5, whether a coalition is needed or not. He said that strong leadership is needed to secure the future of the country.
His remarks follow media speculation that Bulgaria, in the worlds of the UK Financial Times, "faces a fruitless summer of political bargaining that could mean holding another election this year – a situation that could prolong the effects of recession and threaten the country’s currency board regime, which pegs the lev to the euro."
Meanwhile, party leaders have started voting in Sunday's election. Ataka leader Volen Siderov voted in Orov School in Sofia. When he left the polling station leaving he attacked the ruling parties and accused them of being involved in vote-buying across the country. "I voted to remove the Turkish mafia and to stop Bulgarians being turned into slaves to Turkey," said Siderov.
Simeon Saxe-Coburg, leader of the National Movement for Stability and Progress (NMSP) has stated that he "voted for Bulgaria" in Sunday's general elections.
Saxe-Coburg arrived at Vasil Aprilov school in the Gorublyane neighborhood of Sofia to cast his ballot. Commenting on the future of the NMSP, Saxe-Coburg said that the country "needs stability" and...must "continue to integrate successfully into the European Union."
