Will the political blockage in the work of the institutions continue - and today the main question will be whether the parliament will gather a quorum.

Yesterday there was no session because only 61 MPs registered in the hall, and the Speaker of the Parliament Natalia Kiselova scheduled a new one - for today at 9:00. This came to this after a threat by GERB leader Boyko Borisov not to ensure a quorum in the parliament, BNT recalls.

His anger was provoked by GERB's poor performance in the extraordinary elections for municipal councilors in Pazardzhik. Borisov also sharply criticized his coalition partners from the BSP and the ITN.

The BSP responded to Borisov in a written position, emphasizing that a new political crisis would have a destructive effect on social peace and key systems in the country.

The ITN is silent for now.

At the moment, it is also unclear when there will be a government meeting, after it was canceled by Prime Minister Zhelyazkov.

And the opposition demanded the resignation of the cabinet and new elections.
