Movement for Rights and Freedoms

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).

Bulgaria's Chief Public Prosecutor Ivan Geshev (R) walks before the meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council in Sofia, Bulgaria, 08 June 2023. Bulgaria's Supreme Judicial Council will consider two requests for early termination of the mandate of the Prosecutor General.

For the first time since the beginning of the procedure for his removal, the prosecutor general also included the name of the MP from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) Delyan Peevski. This happened before the beginning of the session of the Supreme Judicial Council, where the discussion of the request for the early termination of his mandate continues.

The WCC-DB coalition asked Delyan Peevski to leave the Commission on Constitutional Affairs only a day after he was elected to it yesterday.

With 207 votes "for", none against and no abstentions, the National Assembly adopted the additional budget extension with the proposed editorial proposals.

An hour before the vote for a new cabinet, hundreds of "Vazrazhdane" supporters gathered in the square in front of the National Assembly building.

Minutes before the vote for the cabinet, the entire parliamentary group of "There Is Such a People" (TISP) led by Toshko Yordanov, as well as Maya Manolova from "Levitsata" gathered on the square.

"Even before the elections, I said that the only good thing is an expert, broad government, but if it doesn't happen - then one between the first two parties. I think that Denkov and Gabriel are very close to making a decision. But until they agree, we haven't agreed on anything". This was stated by GERB leader Boyko Borissov on the sidelines of the parliament.

It has been established that an adviser to a Bulgarian Prime Minister coordinated the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a Macedonian citizen during the negotiation process of the Republic of North Macedonia with the EU.

The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) proposes convening a Grand National Assembly to vote on changes to the Constitution. This was announced by the movement at a briefing on the sidelines of the parliament.

The sixth "unnecessary" elections in two years are set, warned the leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) Mustafa Karadayi, who took part in the forum "The European Union meets the Balkans", organized by the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe.
