“We Continue the Change” has submitted an anti-corruption bill to Parliament, the Chairperson of the National Assembly Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee Milen Mateev announced. He read a declaration from the Parliament’s rostrum. “For a long time, the counter-corruption bill has been impeded by people from the former coalition partner There is Such a People (ITN)”, said Milen Mateev.
“We Continue the Change” proposes the establishment of a new, independent anti-corruption body to conduct effective investigation and reveal corrupt schemes at every level of government, meanwhile putting in place safeguards to prevent the new institution from becoming a repressive authority.
Later, the Chairman of the Parliamentary group of "There is Such a People" party Toshko Yordanov said that Kiril Petkov tried to make a parallel Prosecutor's Office through the amendments to the Anti-corruption law. The MP quoted words of Prime Minister Petkov from the coalition council: "I do not trust the State Agency for National Security and the services. Their heads are not mine, they are the President’s. I need an investigative authority and a parallel Prosecutor's Office."
