The President of Bulgaria has the right to express his political position and there is a Constitutional Court decision to that effect. This is the comment of the President of Bulgaria (2002-2012) Georgi Parvanov on President Rumen Radev's speech at the handing over of the second mandate.

Mr Radev said the mandate was discredited and it was better not to execute it. Asked what unites the first and the second political forces in parliament, namely We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) and GERB-SDS, which on June 5 are to hand President Rumen Radev their draft cabinet, Parvanov said: "Without a doubt, this is something that happens because of the common interest, which is not political, not national. It is an interest which is narrow, personal and perhaps narrowly partisan, of the two formations. There is probably, as they themselves admit, a significant pressure from outside. This has made possible the convergence of two hitherto irreconcilable formations."
