The former Deputy Prime Minister Maria Gabriel, who has been tasked with forming a new government in Bulgaria, has broken off talks on a new cabinet. „No to the constant new conditions,“ said the 44-year-old former EU Commissioner on Sunday in Sofia, explaining her decision. Gabriel and the negotiating team of the pro-Western center-right alliance Gerb-SDS thus put an end to the government talks with the previous, equally pro-Western liberal-conservative coalition partner PP-DB.
