The leader of the largest parliamentary party GERB commented on his meeting with Donald Trump Jr., which sparked wide media attention in Bulgaria: ''Private meetings with the children of my friends, at an informal lunch which led to nothing-we just shared what each of us had been through during the time I hadn’t seen his father — illegal arrests, etc'', Boyko Borisov told journalists.

MPs from "We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria" demanded that the leader of GERB make an official statement regarding an article in the Wall Street Journal, which reads that: ''Trump Jr arrived in Bulgaria in April as part of an Eastern European speaking tour. Former Premier Boyko Borissov, still Bulgaria's most powerful man, saw an opportunity: advertising the pipeline and other Bulgarian assets could help him secure a meeting with the U.S. President he met in 2019. Among other things, Borissov is seeking relief from U.S. Magnitsky Act sanctions for some of his close allies''.

''We call on Mr. Borisov to tell the truth. This is important because when a Bulgarian politician with enormous influence starts offering assets of the Bulgarian state, it becomes a national issue'', argued MP Ivaylo Mirchev, urging Boyko Borisov to quickly give an interview to the American newspaper to share his version.
