“The date of March 28 for the parliamentary elections may be reconsidered in case of extremely critical events,” Prof. Alexander Marinov, Chairman of the Strategic Council under the presidency, told BNR. According to him, no one can predict whether the epidemic situation in the country on May 28 will not be worse than on March 28.

A few days ago, President Rumen Radev announced that he would schedule the elections for March 28.

Marinov noted that according to the Constitution, the earliest possible date is March 28, and the last, May 28, and the decree by which the president will schedule the elections will be issued in January 2021.

The President of the Strategic Council stressed that when the time comes to indicate the date of the elections, President Rumen Radev will consult with the CEC and health experts.

“What matters is what the state, and especially the parliament, is doing to hold free and fair elections.” he commented, noting that the parliamentary majority is doing everything possible to make elections more difficult, not easier. “He’s not doing anything useful. We have a classic hearing on a possible change in legislation to allow voting by mail.” Marinov added.
