This act of the Speaker of the National Assembly is not subject to constitutional control. An adopted decision of the National Assembly is subject to constitutional control. What is the complexity of the situation? Raya Nazaryan should act as the Constitution states, she is also a lawyer. I do not want to give advice. This was stated by Mihail Mikov, former leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, former Minister of the Interior and Chairman of the 42nd National Assembly, to NovaNews, quoted by novini.bg
According to him, there is a war going on between the institutions, the law is a law for some and an absolute privilege for others: “Things are increasingly moving towards political expediency, not legality. Out of political expediency, Natalia Kiselova made this decision, perhaps so that there would be no discussion.“
When asked how to punish former National Assembly Speaker Kiselova, Mikov commented: “Fighting with sticks and smearing with tar have long been a thing of the past. Pronouncing the Constitutional Court in this way is a severe enough punishment for a person who earns his living by constitutional law. If in this situation she is a candidate for president, those who would nominate her take the risk of this negative. I am convinced that Assoc. Prof. Kiselova realizes what a complicated situation she finds herself in. She was put under pressure. Maybe one day, when she writes her memoirs, she will tell the story.“
Regarding the “Kotsev“ case, he specified that it makes sense for the case to be heard where the crime he is accused of was committed.
“This is a budget of increased militarization, and this leads to expenses, not revenues. When the largest increase is in defense and security, anything else can be, but not a left-wing budget. Bulgaria is becoming a prisoner of this militarization that is taking place throughout Europe. Europe's problems will deepen. There is no increase for mothers and children, and at the same time, fat pieces are being cut from culture. "Instead of the government thinking about how to have students, soldiers, workers, clients, buyers, it thinks about how to prolong a little more what is happening with Bulgaria and our development as a people," he commented on the draft budget for 2026.
