We would not enter negotiations for forming a government with compromised political figures, the leader of "We continue the change" Kiril Petkov has told "Nova TV". "Our proposals are Assen Vassilev for the position of Minister of Finance and me for Prime Minister. But if our partners managed to convince us that they have better candidates, we could agree," Petkov said.

He called for "lustration of thieves" because "there should be no person in Bulgaria who uses public funds illegally and for personal purposes." Sotir Tsatsarov should not be head the anti-mafia commission, Petkov added.

Speaking about the new debts, he said that they were set by the Minister of Finance of GERB Kiril Ananiev.
