Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) stated that the written refusal of GERB-UDF for a coalition with Delyan Peevski is a "good start". In a statement to the media on Tuesday, the leaders of the formation Kiril Petkov, Assen Vassilev, Bozhidar Bozhanov and Atanas Atanasov commented the meetings regarding the legislative programme of the 51st National Assembly that took place earlier in the day and their proposed declaration on creating a  "cordon sanitaire" (sanitary cordon) around Delyan Peevski and his MRF-New Beginning. On Tuesday, CC-DB also sent a meeting invitation to GERB-UDF.

In response to their invitation, GERB leader Boyko Borissov said that his party will put in the effort to create a government, but it will be without MRF-New Beginning, Vazrazhdane, Alliance for Rights and Freedoms and MECh. 

"GERB-UDF's written refusal for a coalition with MRF-New Beginning and Peevski is a good start, but what we want to draw attention to is that there is much more to our declaration of a "cordon sanitaire" and this is a way to take away some of the power that Peevski currently has," said Bozhanov.

"So, it's good that they won't be part of the coalition conversation, but we need to have clarity and a declaration from the GERB colleagues that we will start taking away the tools which Peevski uses to exercise illegitimate power," he added.
