National Assembly

The CEC announced the official data from the parliamentary elections for the 47th National Assembly.

By the end of the day, the Central Election Commission must announce the final results of the presidential and vice-presidential elections. Its decision for a run-off on November 21 is also expected. The CEC continues to accept the documentation from the district election commissions.

Ljubljana – The National Assembly is in for a busy session this week as the draft budgets for 2022 and 2023 and ousting motion against Education Minister Simona Kustec will be discussed. The plenary will traditionally start with questions time with the cabinet on Monday.

The youngest political group, "We Continue the Change", won the Bulgarian parliamentary elections (surprisingly against the background of sociologists' forecasts), but it is facing difficult negotiations to form a government in the new 47th National Assembly and the final success of the debutants will depend on them.

According to the data on the votes outside the country, with 78.89 percent processed SEC protocols, DPS received 41.57 percent of the votes abroad in the elections for the National Assembly, "We Continue the Change" - 20.36 percent, and "There is Such a People" - 10,42 percent, according to the Central Election Commission.

Today is a "day of reflection" before the 2 in 1 elections - for president and vice president and for the National Assembly, on November 14. Pre-election campaigning is not allowed, and it is forbidden to announce in any form the results of public opinion polls until the end of the Election Day.

The election campaign for the elections for the 47th National Assembly and the elections for president and vice-president of Bulgaria ends at 24.00 on November 12.

The caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Yanev assured that all measures have been taken so that there is a fair vote that reflects the preferences of Bulgarian citizens. According to Yanev, the CEC and the executive branch have made the necessary organization.

Ljubljana – The National Assembly appointed Rok Svetlič a judge on the Constitutional Court for a nine-year term in a secret ballot on Wednesday. Svetlič received 46 votes, the minimum required to get appointed, after only 46 MPs in the 90-strong legislature picked up their ballots and all voted for him. The new judge has already been sworn in.

Ljubljana – Ljubo Žnidar, an MP for the coalition Democrats (SDS), has resigned. The party said he stepped down for personal reasons and decided to continue his professional career in the corporate sector.

SDS deputy group leader Danijel Krivec said Žnidar no longer saw himself in this role and did not wish to contest an election again.
