Bulgaria’s Parliament failed to hold a session for the third consecutive day due to a lack of quorum. As a result, the scheduled parliamentary control, usually held every Friday, was also cancelled.

Only 29 MPs from We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria, 11 from the Alliance for Rights and Freedoms, 11 from MECH and two MPs from the Bulgarian Socialist Party registered in the plenary hall. Not a single MP from GERB, There Is Such a People, or the Movement for Rights and Freedoms – New Beginning appeared in the plenary hall for the morning registration.

National Assembly Speaker Natalia Kiselova announced that the next session would be held on Wednesday, October 22.
