The Petkov Government, known as the Four-party coalition cabinet, was the ninety-ninth cabinet of Bulgaria. Chaired by prime minister Kiril Petkov, it was approved by the National Assembly on 13 December 2021 after the government formation as a result of the November 2021 parliamentary election.^[1] It was a so-called Vivaldi coalition, named after composer Antonio Vivaldi due to his work The Four Seasons which corresponds to the different political views present in this coalition: liberals (PP and Yes, Bulgaria!, as part of DB), socialists (BSP), greens (ZD, as part of DB) and conservatives (ITN and DSB, as part of DB). The government became a Minority government on 8 June 2022, when ITN pulled out of the government,^[2] and its mandate ended in late June 2022.^[3] It was the first government in Bulgarian history to lose a vote of confidence. On 1 July, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev asked Asen Vasilev to form a new government,^[3] which Vasilev failed to do and new elections were scheduled to take place.
