Kostadin Kostadinov

There were physical clashes in the plenary hall after, during a declaration from the parliamentary rostrum, Yavor Bozhankov from "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) called Kostadin Kostadinov and Tsoncho Ganev from pro-Russian party "Vazrazhdane": "soft wrists" ("meki kitki" which in Bulgarian insinuates homosexual orientation).

"Vazrazhdane" will file a report to the chief prosecutor against Kiril Petkov and Asen Vasilev for treason. The reason is the alleged synchronization of the appointments of heads of national service with a foreign embassy, which Kostadin Kostadinov interprets as the American one.

According to the leader of the Political Party "Vazrazhdane" Kostadin Kostadinov, the government between GERB-SDS and WCC-DB will cause damage to Bulgaria that will be difficult to recover.

According to Kostadinov, the removal of Bulgartransgaz from the prohibition list for privatization and its sale to an American company is being prepared.

"Such acts [are] … an incompatible counterweight to present-day Bulgaria, as well as to the democratic values that our country epitomises," the ministry stated. 

Prime Minister nominee Mariya Gabriel stated in the National Assembly that she will fulfill the first exploratory mandate and return the folder with the structure and composition of the government to the head of state on Monday.

With declarations from the parliamentary rostrum, the political formations in the 49th National Assembly marked the 108th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

The leader of "Vazrazhdane" (Revival) Kostadin Kostadinov reminded:

President Rumen Radev continues the political consultations for forming a government with the parliamentary groups in the 49th National Assembly.

"If I were a Bulgarian citizen, I would vote for the one person I understand - for 'I do not support anyone' or for Kostadin Kostadinov."

This is stated by the Russian ambassador to Bulgaria, Eleonora Mitrofanova, in an interview with Martin Karboski, which was published on his YouTube video blog.

President Rumen Radev congratulates the representatives of the Muslim faith in Bulgaria on the occasion of the Eid al-Fitr holiday. This was announced by the presidential press office.

With 220 votes in favor, the parliament created a temporary committee that should draft the new parliament's rules of procedure. It will have 12 representatives from each parliamentary group, and GERB deputy Radomir Cholakov was elected chairman.
