“If the two MRFs merge tomorrow, their parliamentary group will consist of 48 people. This would make them a second parliamentary force. The current first GERB has 66 and the second PP-DB has 36. According to the rules, however, existing groups cannot merge. But could they not form a whole new one, for example with the new name MRF-DPS-NN? That remains unclear to me.”
This is what journalist Ruzha Raicheva commented on her Facebook account, continuing as follows:
“One way or another, the majority in the ND is BEHIND. They will be a whole group regardless of whether they are separate. The answer to the question of how long the current government will rule is simple – until Peevski decides. And in fact that’s how it has been so far. It’s just that Dogan’s disgraceful dance has ended even climaxed.
Just don’t let it turn out to be a one-man decision by Chakarov. DPS-New Beginnings announced the news, DPS-Dogan have not announced the merger definitively. But be that as it may – the blow is fatal. Even if it is a one-man decision, it is a crystal clear symptom of the total disintegration of the “original MRF”.
