The Forty-Second National Assembly ( Bulgarian: Четиридесет и второто народно събрание) was a convocation of the National Assembly of Bulgaria, formed according to the results of the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria, held on May 12, 2013. [1]
The results of the election presented a tough configuration of the National Assembly without a clear majority. As the largest party,
GERB was given the first chance to form a government but failed to gain support. The mandate was then given to the
centre-left
BSP, who reached a coalition agreement with the
centrist
DPS.
[2] The two parties were still 1 seat short of a majority and the path remained unclear.
GERB’s strategy was to sabotage the
quorum by not attending when the Assembly was to elect the government, hoping that the
far-right
Attack party would do the same. Their leader
Volen Siderov, however, didn't like the idea and was present at the voting.
[3]
Plamen Oresharski was sworn in as Prime Minister after receiving that indirect support from Siderov.
After
mass protests for the most of its tenure, the
Oresharski Government resigned.
[4] The parties refused to form another government, which resulted into President
Rosen Plevneliev appointing a
caretaker government and setting the date for new elections.
