It calls for the recruitment of 500,000 military personnel.

Bulgaria's Specialized Prosecution Office is launching a probe into media allegations about corrupt behaviour of a member of the 46th National Assembly, the prosecution service said in a press release on Tuesday.

Following are short bios of the ministers in the government line-up proposed by the There is Such a People Party on Tuesday:

Bulgaria's anti-establishment There is Such a People party (ITN) had no rallies, no posters, no canvassing, no candidates and no real programme to speak of. Now the whole country may be about to experience the same of its next leader.

Galup: Unpredictability is a major factor in the forthcoming early general elections. Hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians have yet to decide which party to support. Two parties stand a chance of winning the early elections.

The newly elected 45h National Assembly started its first session at 9:00 am on Thursday morning in Parliament's old building. The meeting is broadcast live on National TV and National Radio.

In the first parliamentary election since the murder two years ago of journalist Jan Kuciak, the Ordinary People and Independent Personalities (OLANO) party took almost 25 per cent of the vote, compared with 18.5 per cent for SMER-SD.

It was SMER-SD's first loss in a general election since 2006 and its worst showing at the ballot box since 2002.
