"There Is Such a People" (ITN) will not respond to the invitation of GERB-SDS for talks about support for a cabinet with their mandate. This is what MP Stanislav Balabanov has told BNR. "We invited Borissov to a hearing but he was not there. So, they can do whatever they want, the question is what decision we would make. We have already said that there would be no cabinet talks with the parties of the status quo, "Balabanov added.

"Democratic Bulgaria" has refused in writing the invitation sent by GERB-SDS for negotiations to form a government, leader of the party Hristo Ivanov said.

GERB's candidate for prime minister, Daniel Mitov, commented that the refusal of "Democratic Bulgaria" was a manifestation of political immaturity, BGNES reported.
