“We will try to secure a majority in the National Assembly for the adoption of draft legislation connected with the Recovery and Resilience Plan”, said Lena Borislavova, Chief of Staff of outgoing Premier Kiril Petkov. 

However, Lena Borislavova expressed concerns that GERB, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms and “There is Such a People” party would try to impede the adoption of important legislation, as happened during the week with the amendments to the Anti-corruption Commission Act.

 Lena Borislavova said that her party “We Continue the Change” are "against the model where MPs are given or taken", referring to Boyko Borissov’s words that he would give 60 MPs to pass a law on natural gas diversification. “This is not how democracy and Parliament function”, said Lena Borislavova and called on GERB party to table such a bill.
