Balgarianovinite.com The GERB-UDF Parliamentary Group suggests that the choice of a caretaker prime minister should be extended beyond the officials already touted, including to all 239 MPs [excluding the National Assembly Chair], Deputy Floor Leader Denitsa Sacheva said during Tuesday’s consultations with President Iliana Iotova on the caretaker PM appointment procedure.
GERB-UDF is ready to back the election of a new National Assembly chair to assume this constitutional commitment, Sacheva added. She stressed that the idea is to broaden the head of State’s options and ensure maximum leeway and impartiality in making the decision. The Deputy Floor Leader said that her parliamentary group will not advise the President about her choice and will refrain from assessing particular individuals.
On January 27, at a meeting with President Iotova, sitting National Assembly Chair and GERB-UDF MP Raya Nazaryan declined the offer to become caretaker PM. Emerging from the appointment, Nazaryan told journalists that a political figure should not serve as caretaker prime minister because “there must be a sense of impartiality.” She added that it would be unfair if she was picked for head of the future caretaker cabinet because the choice would raise suspicions of interference in the subsequent electoral process.
The head of Parliament is one of ten senior public officials among whom a caretaker MP must be chosen. The rest are the Bulgarian National Bank governor and the three deputy governors, the Bulgarian National Audit Office president and the two vice presidents, and the National Ombudsman and the deputy ombudsman.
