If there is no parliamentary group of the ''Morality, Unity, Honor'' party (MECH) on March 26, we will start blockades, said MECH leader Radostin Vassilev at a press conference. He demanded the resignation of National Assembly Speaker Natalia Kiselova. Vassilev also added that they will report Kiselova to the prosecutor's office.

The parliamentary group of MECH is ceasing to exist, said Natalia Kiselova at the end of the 22-hour session, during which the 2025 state budget was adopted. According to the parliamentary rules, the minimum number of MPs required to form a parliamentary group is 10. Currently, there are 9 MPs from MECH, added Natalia Kiselova. Samuil Slavov from the MECH party has resigned, and the new MP, Angel Petkov, has not yet taken an oath of office.

According to MP Radostin Vassilev, Natalia Kiselova's statement about the dissolution of the parliamentary group of MECH has no legal value.
