Socialist Party

Lawmakers have decided to postpone discussions on budget act amendments proposed by the government, MPs say.

The changes to the 2014 fiscal plan were due to be debated Thursday, but are not included into the agenda as the main ruling Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) has announced it opposes them.

No session was held in Parliament on that day as MPs failed to reach quorum.

Outgoing Bulgarian Foreign Minister Kristian Vigenin will be the government's nomination to become the next EU Commissioner from the country, ruling party sources say.
