Nikola Minchev

The Bulgarian Central Electoral Commission (CEC) adopted a decision distributing the mandates from the European Parliament vote among the participating parties. GERB will be represented by five MEPs, while the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS), "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB), and "Revival" each send three deputies to the European Parliament.

The political landscape in Bulgaria has been shaken by explosive allegations surrounding Kiril Petkov, who was Minister of Economy in the 2021 caretaker government. A recent investigative report by the "Bivol" website alleges that Petkov ascended to power in violation of the law, sparking widespread controversy and prompting legal action.

Bulgaria observed February 1 as the Day of Homage to the Victims of the Communist Regime, a poignant reminder of the dark historical chapter that unfolded in the aftermath of World War II.

Kiril Petkov, co-leader of We Continue the Change (WCC), announced via Facebook the official commencement of negotiations with Democratic Bulgaria (DB) for a shared candidate list in the upcoming European parliamentary elections.

In a unanimous decision, the We Continue the Change (WCC) Executive Council appointed Nikola Minchev as the leader of the party's European elections list during a meeting on Wednesday. Assen Vassilev, WCC co-leader, emphasized Minchev's role as a robust Bulgarian representative in European politics.

"We Continue the Change" (WCC-DB) ranking member, Member of Parliament, and former Parliament leader Nikola Minchev has affirmed his consent to lead the party's list of candidates for the European Parliament (EP) elections scheduled for this year.

In a landmark session on Wednesday, Bulgaria's Parliament decisively passed a bill amending and supplementing the country's Constitution. The pivotal amendment, moved by GERB-SDS, We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria (WCC-DB), and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) on July 28, received a resounding 165-71 vote, with one abstention.

It is now official - "We Continuing the Change-Democratic Bulgaria", GERB and DPS submitted the project for amendments to the Constitution to the secretariat of the National Assembly.

The Anti-Corruption Commission i.e. the Commission for Combating Corruption and Confiscation of Illegally Acquired Property (KPKONPI) will be divided in two.
This was decided by the parliament, adopting in the first reading the Law on combating corruption among persons occupying high public positions.

After three hours of debate and with 186 votes "for" and 32 "against", the parliament created a temporary commission to decide whether to remove the immunity of the people's representatives Boyko Borissov and Daniel Alexandrov from GERB-SDS, Kiril Petkov from "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) and Dimitar Avramov from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS).
