(ANSA) - SOFIA, 02 AGO - In Bulgaria, President Rumen Radev
has decreed the dissolution of parliament and the 47th
legislature, officially setting the date for new elections for
Oct. 2. Radev at the same time appointed an interim government
to take the country to an early vote. The interim executive,
which will be headed by Galab Donev (55, economics graduate),
presidential adviser for social policies and health, will be
unveiled tomorrow at an official ceremony in the presidential
palace. The parliamentary crisis and new elections, the fourth
in Bulgaria since April last year, came after a vote of
no-confidence and the resignation of the coalition government
led by Kiril Petkov, leader of the liberal party 'Let's Continue
the Change' (Pp), who remained at the helm of the country for
just over seven months. Three failed attempts to form a new
government within the same unicameral parliament (240 seats)
followed. One after the other, the Cc, the largest parliamentary
force, followed by the opposition conservative party Gerb and
the Socialist Party (Bsp) in a governing coalition, put back the
mandate. (ANSA).
