The Bulgarian National Assembly approved a new coalition government on Thursday, appointing GERB-UDF’s nominee Rosen Zhelyazkov as the new Prime Minister. This decision comes more than two months after the parliamentary elections, ending a period of political uncertainty in the country.
The formation of the new cabinet is expected to bring stability and address key issues facing Bulgaria, including economic reforms and social policies. The coalition government comprises members from various parties, aiming to represent a broad spectrum of political views and foster cooperation within the parliament.
In his address to the parliament, Rosen Zhelyazkov emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration. “Our nation stands at a crossroads, and it is imperative that we work together to overcome the challenges ahead,” he said.
The delayed approval of the government followed extended negotiations among political parties since the parliamentary elections. The electorate had delivered a fragmented parliament, making coalition-building a complex process.
Observers and analysts are watching closely to see how the new government will navigate pressing issues such as economic recovery, healthcare, and Bulgaria’s role in regional affairs.
