I do not find any grounds in their motives. This is a kind of act of violation of the Constitution, because in the part of the motives that the colleagues have presented, there are those from previous votes. The National Assembly has already debated on these topics. This was said in "Face to Face" on bTV, the deputy from "There is such a people" and the chairwoman of the Energy Committee in the parliament, Pavela Mitova, quoted by novini.bg. She commented on the fifth vote of no confidence submitted by the PP-DB against the "Zhelyazkov" cabinet on the topic of "Internal Security, Public Order and Rule of Law", which is supported by "Morals, Unity, Honor" (MECH) and "Alliance for Rights and Freedoms" (APS).
In response to a question whether, if this is the case, the Speaker of the National Assembly Natalia Kiselova cannot intervene, Mitova stated: "Ms. Kiselova cannot intervene. In law, the motives of the legislative act prevail over its title. And in this case, the title prevails – the title is sufficiently extensive. From another point of view, Ms. Kiselova has nothing to do, because there is a regulation of the National Assembly, which states that the title cannot be edited. In this case, we have violated the Constitution and not violated the rules of the National Assembly".
This vote will take place, but then there is an option to refer to the Constitutional Court. But if the act is not adopted, there will be no grounds for referring to the Constitutional Court. If this act is successful, it may be subject to interpretation by the Constitutional Court, she added.
The motives of the colleagues are plagiarized from a report by the European Commission on the rule of law, which deals with problems from 2022 and 2023, when the colleagues from were in power and even had a Minister of Justice. That is, we currently have a kind of act of self-destruction – an act that interprets their own policies, emphasized Pavel Mitova.
I don't think there are any investigated and convicted for corruption, because there are currently quite a few investigations against Kiril Petkov, against Bozhidar Bozhanov, against Asen Vassilev, and also against Lena Borislavova. Their mayor in Varna is in custody. The situation is a bit of a chase, run away. What is this vote of no confidence - the opposition is attacking the judiciary. Let's overthrow the judiciary then. I think that certain political figures really wanted to take over the judiciary, which was also heard from the recordings distributed by Radostin Vassilev, pointed out the MP from "There is such a people".
In response to a question, she confirmed her position that Bulgaria continues to buy Russian gas, despite European sanctions, but through intermediaries.
We have prerequisites in which sanctions are circumvented through intermediaries. I think we are buying Russian gas through intermediaries. In this way, the price is getting higher. I find all this to be a hypocritical policy of the European Commission, which should ask itself very serious questions. I think there is a movement towards common sense, because otherwise, if we stick to the green deal and to some of our humanitarian understandings regarding the war in Ukraine, we will not emerge as a player on the geopolitical stage. I think we are increasingly starting to see the truth and tell it, said Pavela Mitova.
