Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has assigned the task of forming a new government to the center-right GERB-UDF coalition, the largest group in parliament.
Bulgarian President Rumen Radev on Monday tapped the largest group in parliament, the center-right GERB-UDF coalition, to form the country’s new government. Radev handed the mandate to Maria Gabriel, the prime minister-designate under a power-sharing deal by the two main political parties, according to which each would hold the top job for nine months at a time.
The two parties agreed to share power after elections last year in a bid to end a two-and-a-half-year-long political crisis, restore stability and spur economic development in the poorest member country of the European Union. Accepting the mandate, Gabriel said that she does it 'with a sense of responsibility as Bulgaria needs stability.
Following last year’s election, GERB has 69 seats in the 240-seat parliament, while the reformist bloc has 63. Gabriel, 43, a member of the European Parliament since 2009, was EU commissioner for innovation, research, culture, education and youth. She is also the first vice chair of the European People’s Party.
