No party believes in the long life of the National Assembly, however
They will not go on Easter vacation because of their ambitious program
The 45th parliament remains in the old building
The anti-GERB majority legitimizes itself with the election of the new president
Bills that could fill parliament’s work for at least two terms announced new groups in parliament on the first day. Their lightning-fast legislative activity came amid fears voiced by their leaders that the 45th parliament was likely to have a short life.
By the end of the day, the first 10 submitted bills had already been published on the website of the National Assembly.
Changes in the constitution, early
replacement of the main
prosecutor
Ivan Geshev
and the actual removal of the figure of the first prosecutor from the judiciary is the most ambitious project. He belongs to Democratic Bulgaria.
The draft for changes in the constitution appeared first on the website of the National Assembly – while the solemn sitting was taking place and there was not even an elected Speaker of Parliament.
The DB’s plan also includes lustration – the introduction of restrictions on holding public office for people who worked for repressive bodies of the totalitarian regime and held leading positions in the Bulgarian Communist Party. Reducing the term of the Prosecutor General from 7 to 5 years, regulating the parliamentary quota of the SJC to 1/3 of the composition, introducing a legislative initiative for citizens, if they are supported by another 10 thousand others, is proposed with the changes.
Together with him, the office of “Democratic Bulgaria” has made changes to the Electoral Code. They envisage voting by mail for Bulgarians at home and abroad, dropping the ceiling of 35 sections in countries outside the EU and creating a constituency for voters abroad.

Because the ideas that all parties without GERB launched are largely overlapping.
To drop the restriction for the sections abroad, to introduce a postal vote for Bulgarians abroad, video surveillance, full machine voting, to dissolve the CEC and to elect a new one – these are the changes in the Electoral Code demanded by “There is such a people”, which were announced by Toshko Yordanov.
“There is no need to

this parliament

mandate
It is not clear how much he will earn. It will work as much as it should, and it will become clear very soon. But the main task before this parliament is the obligatory change in the Electoral Code “, he explained.
Fully machine voting, electronic remote voting for Bulgarians abroad, a constituency for them, a change in the composition of election commissions are also described in “Stand up! Mutri out ”(IMV). We will change the election legislation immediately,
to be ready
for early
elections,
Maya Manolova explained.
“There is such a people” also submitted a ready-made project in the office – changes in the Law on Political Parties, which would make the subsidy 1 lev per vote.
BSP proposes a package of laws with specific measures to support small and medium-sized businesses, with urgent solutions to extend the credit vacation,

vacation,
aid to the economy and job creation, announced leader Cornelia Ninova.
As early as Thursday, they submitted two draft amendments to the Social Security Code. They propose that the pensions be recalculated as of July 1 with the average insurance income for 2018, as well as the adoption of a law for the elderly. It applies to Bulgarians over 65. The Socialists propose measures for social inclusion and cultural cohesion, as well as those in health care, education and training. Novelty is offered

They also introduced changes to maternity in the second year to be BGN 650, as much as the minimum wage. To help families, their proposal is that kindergartens and nurseries be free.
The records of the socialists to grant higher one-time assistance for the birth of a second and third child are already in the records. Their proposal is for it to be 10 minimum wages, but the condition is that the parents have been insured for at least 24 months before the birth.
The aid of BGN 250 should be given not only for first-graders, but also for parents with low incomes to children in primary school. The socialists’ accounts show that another BGN 90 million will be needed.
“We are in an unusual situation. We are in a health, economic and social crisis, and we are on the verge of a financial and political one. That is why, more than ever, reason and responsibility are required of us. Not mandate thinking, but state and visionary decisions “, Ninova explained. With their package of laws on the first day of the parliament they entered “Stand up! Get out! ” We will propose concrete measures for immediate support of the most vulnerable groups of the population, for increasing incomes and pensions and better access to education and healthcare, explained Maya Manolova. They will also introduce amendments to the State of Emergency Act for direct financial support from the state for enterprises and self-insured persons affected by the crisis, for households and for pensioners. They would offer and
new
vaccination
plan
We will make changes in the Personal Assistance Act – we will insist that the texts in it be restored, because the goal is worthy support for people with disabilities, Manolova vowed. “We will protect people from the strong of the day. “Tomorrow we will propose a law on collectors and a law on private bankruptcy,” she said. Among the proposals of the IMI is to extend the monthly allowance of BGN 50 for pensioners until the end of the year.
But while the common will for changes in the election rules has so far only been stated, the first anti-GERB coalition in the plenary hall took place yesterday in the election of the new parliamentary chief Iva Miteva. She was elected with 163 votes in favor from all non-GERB groups that abstained.
For the time being, the parliament remains in the historic white building on National Assembly Square. He will be there while the wing of Dondukov is being repaired in the building of the former Party House.
Due to their ambitious legislative program, the deputies will not go on holiday for Easter. This was decided at the first meeting of the new Parliamentary Conference of Presidents.
Slavi’s people “forgot” about the majority elections, it was already the job of GERB
They used them as a flag to enter the parliament, how will they explain this to 2.5 million Bulgarians from the referendum, the party replies
TOThe lack of a key feature stood out in the priorities for the newly elected parliament of the second political force “There is such a people”. In his speech, the deputy head of the party Toshko Yordanov listed a number of changes in the election rules – electronic voting, voting by mail, removal of the limit on the number of sections abroad, but there was no word on the introduction of majority elections. This was the main election promise of Slavi Trifonov’s party. It was the non-compliance with the 2016 referendum, when the majority vote was supported by 2.5 million people, that the showman cited as the reason for founding his party.
“And the majority elections?” They shouted from the hall as Toshko Yordanov spoke about the opening of the new parliament.
“There should be majority elections, but looking at this hall … The party that proposes them does not have a majority,” he replied.
Evidently, Yordanov’s words were addressed to GERB, whose leader Boyko Borissov announced on Wednesday that his party would submit a bill for the majority election of deputies. The previous government proposed such a bill in 2017.
“For me, today’s opening of the 45th National Assembly produced great news: Slavi Trifonov’s party withdrew from the majority vote. This became clear from the words of Toshko Yordanov from the parliamentary rostrum. Yordanov was adamant that there would be no proposal for a majority vote on the part of ITN, and announced as a last resort that this parliament would not serve its full term. Both statements are extremely illogical, as the mass expectations of “There is such a people” are currently two: the introduction of a majority vote in implementation of the referendum initiated by them and the formation of a stable and responsible government, “said Slavi’s party. Krasen Kralev.
How will ITN explain its refusal of a majority vote to those 2.5 million people who supported the referendum on the “Show of Fame” – what do people think today, whose voice was used as a flag in recent years to enter Slavi Trifonov and his team in parliament? ”Kralev asked on Facebook.
The first bill that GERB will submit to the new parliament will be for majority elections, the head of the group Desislava Atanasova announced on the sidelines. We reminded from the first line of the second political force that they are obliged to implement the request they had years ago after the referendum and which GERB twice submitted within the previous composition of the National Assembly, she explained.
Karaday warned the new ones – you are under 100, there is no cabinet without a union
Borissov resigned and went on leave, The BSP has demanded a ban on concluding contracts
Purely party cabinets headed by a party leader or other prominent party figure will not be possible because the three new parties in parliament have only 92 seats. Thus, MRF leader Mustafa Karadayi warned the three “protest parties” that they would need the movement’s support. And in this context he again mentioned the most resonant word in the speeches of the MRF – togetherness.
“The MRF will not vote for a government of any party or coalition unless it is clearly documented that this government has a clear program, with stated goals, means and deadlines for their implementation,” Karadayi vowed.
On the first working day of the new parliament, Prime Minister Boyko Borissov resigned from the government, as required by the constitution, but without himself going to parliament. The news was announced by Mika Zaykova, who as dean played the role of chairman. There was loud applause from the deputies in the hall. A few hours later, the government’s press service announced that Borissov was on leave as of today. He himself explained that he would use the time to prepare hard with the composition of a new cabinet, which GERB will propose, headed by former Foreign Minister Daniel Mitov.
However, there is no option for it to be voted by the National Assembly, it became clear from the possible coalitions outlined in the speeches of the political leaders yesterday.
We are ready to offer governance to the country and reach out to our political opponents. If this does not happen, we refuse to bear responsibility if our country is thrown into chaos and hopelessness, announced the new head of the GERB deputies Desislava Atanasova.
We are not negotiating with GERB for a government election, nor with the MRF for new elections, BSP leader Cornelia Ninova was categorical, refuting various rumors.
She again expressed support for the cabinet of “There is such a people”, but on policies aimed at “dismantling the vicious model of governance and plunder of Bulgaria.” And if the ITN did not propose a government and the third term reached the Socialists, the party would still decide what to do.
GERB’s cabinet will not be supported by Democratic Bulgaria either. If they are asked for support from “There is such a people” and they agree, they would come to power with them, announced the intentions of the coalition, the co-chairman of “Democratic Bulgaria” Hristo Ivanov.
The cabinet talks that “Stand up! Mutri van ”will lead, they will be public, the head of the group Maya Manolova was laconic.
The formation of Slavi, whose answers the whole country has been waiting for since April 4, is the only one that has not announced any future intentions to form the new executive power.
The BSP demanded that the Parliament impose a moratorium on Borissov’s cabinet – while he resigns, not to conclude any contracts for sales, concessions, appointments and extension of terms under contracts and boards and managements of commissions and agencies.
