Atanas Atanasov of <b>WCC-DB</b> asserted, "<em>There is no agreement on what Gabriel is doing</em>." Outgoing Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov echoed this sentiment, highlighting that the <b>cabinet</b> proposal did not have the backing of <b>WCC-DB</b> partners. Denkov emphasized that it resembled a GERB-centric <b>cabinet</b>, lacking coordination with <b>WCC-DB</b>, and lacked alignment with their established government agreement.</p> <p>Kiril Petkov suggested that Gabriel succumbed to pressure from Borissov and Peevski, characterizing the situation as one of the biggest falsifications in modern Bulgarian history. Asen Vassilev, the resigned Minister of Finance and co-chairman of "We Continue the Change," condemned the lack of consent in appointing ministers to the <b>cabinet</b>, labeling it as an act of impudence and indecency unfit for a potential prime minister.</p> <p>The anticipated response from <b>GERB</b> regarding the agreement and the nominated ministers of the "Gabriel" <b>cabinet</b> is expected imminently.</p> <p>Despite these developments, the National Assembly's weekly agenda does not include the proposal for the presidential decree to be discussed in today's meeting.</p> <div id="inArticleAd" class="in-article-ad"> <ins data-revive-zoneid="21" data-revive-id="d77345d5dad38ba25a9ce152fa9bcb13"></ins> <script async src="//ads2.jenite.bg/www/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script> </div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div style="margin-top: 11px; margin-bottom: 11px;"> <!-- <p style="font-size: 15px;"><strong>We need your support so Novinite.com can keep delivering news and information about Bulgaria!
