Today’s sitting of parliament could not take place for lack of quorum, after the MPs from the ruling majority did not come to the plenary hall of the National Assembly. Kiril Petkov, co-chair of We Continue the Change explained that they were not going to register because the opposition was getting ready to “make a scene”.
“Vazrazhdane, the Bulgarian Socialist Party and There Is Such a People (ITN) want the dismantling of the Soviet Army monument in Sofia to stop before there is a sitting of parliament,” Kiril Petkov said and promised the MPs would work overtime on Monday and Tuesday.
“The voice of the opposition has to be heard and will be heard next week when There Is Such a People stops the absurd changes to the Constitution,” said ITN MP Stanislav Balabanov.
“There is no point in organizing protests in the streets, the protest is here already, at the National Assembly,” said Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov.
