After long and heated debates spanning over 5 hours, the MPs voted for the resignation of the President of the National Assembly Nikola Minchev. 113 MPs voted against his removal from the position of President of the National Assembly, 125 out of the total of 239 votes cast were “for”.
Right before the vote in parliament, Nikola Minchev stated that “there is a new majority in plenary” which does not bring change and will preserve the model he had hoped to change. “Under these circumstances I am not sure it is appropriate for me to remain as President of the National Assembly,” Nikola Minchev commented.
His resignation was demanded yesterday by the parliamentary group of There Is Such a People for “systematic violation of the rules of organization and procedure of the National Assembly and an attempt to thwart the hearing of Foreign Minister Teodora Genchovska regarding the EU accession negoiations of the Republic of North Macedonia”.
As the debates and the voting was taking place, a protest took place in front of parliament building in support of Nikola Minchev. The participants described Minchev as “the most deserving National Assembly Peesident we have ever had, a President of utmost integrity". The protesters stated that “the mafia wants to install its puppets whose strings it can pull” and that “a coup is underway in Bulgaria against the legitimately elected bodies of power.”
