Natalia Kiselova has resigned as Speaker of the National Assembly, dariknews.bg reports.
"Today I submitted a statement resigning from the position of Speaker of the National Assembly. In the past few days, it has been said that in politics no one owes anyone anything - quite the opposite. We owe it to the citizens who voted for all of us a year ago, to the citizens who did not go to exercise their electoral rights a year ago. Over the past 5 years, the political crisis has not subsided. We lack the skills for mutual agreement, for a coalition culture. As a member of parliament and as part of the BSP Parliamentary Group, we have proven that in critical moments for the state we can be responsible at the height of the historical moment. Today I am stepping down and thus showing how one should act with a sense of duty and responsibility towards parliamentary practice in the conditions of joint governance. It was an honor for me!" she announced, quoted by BNT
Then Raya Nazaryan from GERB-SDF took over the leadership of the plenary session.
On Tuesday it became clear that the Coalition partners from GERB-SDF, “BSP-United Left“ and “There is such a people“ reached an agreement on a rotating presidency of the National Assembly. According to the agreement, the rotation will take place every 10 months.
