The leader of the opposition Vazrazhdane party, Kostadin Kostadinov, commented Friday that MRF - New Beginning leader Delyan Peevski "has sent into retirement" GERB Chair Boyko Borissov. Kostadinov went on social media with his reaction to a statement by Borissov that he would be seeking official support from Peevski in the incumbent coalition cabinet.

Peevski's party backs the incumbent GERB-led minority government even though it nominally not part of the ruling three-party coalition.

"Peevski has just sent Borissov into retirement. Boyko Borissov is now Mr Nobody," the Vazrazhdane leader wrote in a Facebook post.

Borissov's statement came after a meeting of his party's top leadership with GERB mayors, MPs, government ministers and local coordinators. He said there: "Peevski should be spoken to directly, face to face. The others - those who want this to happen, or don’t - should come up with another option. I have no other option. I sincerely hoped CC-DB would propose one - but they didn't. If TISP and BSP [the other parties in the power-sharing coalition] are okay with it, invite them and talk. If not - we won't do it alone."
