Bulgaria’s president will start talks on new cabinet after government collapse

SOFIA: Bulgaria’s president will start consultations with parliamentary groups next week on forming a new cabinet following the collapse of the government in nationwide anti-corruption protests. Rosen Zhelyazkov’s minority government had survived six no-confidence votes since it was appointed in January, only to be toppled in the street protests on Thursday by tens of thousands. President Rumen Radev is set to invite the biggest group in parliament for talks on forming a government. If that fails, the second-largest grouping will get its chance before the president chooses a candidate.
