“The president will initiate a referendum on the adoption of the euro. This is his legitimate right under the Constitution," Slavi Trifonov, leader of There Is Such a People (TISP), wrote on Facebook.

"We at TISP support the President's idea to ask the citizens. I want to be clear. I am in favour of Bulgaria adopting the euro and joining the eurozone, but first I am Bulgarian and then I am European, and in such a referendum I will say publicly and loudly what my opinion is, but what will happen will be decided by the people, the Bulgarian citizens, because it is their right and such is direct democracy," Slavi Trifonov wrote.

He adds that the TISP are part of the ruling majority so that the country's problems can be solved and not to go against their principles. “As participants in the government, we will support our partners in everything that is good for the state and everything that we have agreed in the joint governance programme. And when there is an opportunity for the sovereign to be asked, we will support that opportunity,” the TISP leader concluded.
