The National Assembly (NA) will hold an extraordinary session this afternoon – June 2, the legislative body informed on its website. The order was signed by Rositsa Kirova - “for the Speaker of the National Assembly”, the announcement states.
On Friday “We continue the change-Democratic Bulgaria” submitted a request to the secretariat of the National Assembly for an extraordinary meeting of the deputies on two topics, BTA recalls.
One is a hearing of the acting Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dimitar Glavchev, in connection with publicly disclosed information about a letter sent to the Permanent Representative of Bulgaria to the United Nations to change the position of our country on the occasion of the vote on the resolution confirming an international day of remembrance of the genocide committed by the Bosnian Serb army in Srebrenica in 1995.
„Bulgaria has an expressed position regarding Srebrenica and it is “for“. I will not comment on the criminal leakage of working documents in the unfinished phase of decision-making,”, acting Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev said yesterday at the beginning of the actual actions to clear the ground for the construction of the National Children's Hospital.
Bulgaria voted on the resolution of the UN General Assembly of May 23, which declared July 11 as the International Day of Remembrance of the Genocide in Srebrenica.
The published agenda of the extraordinary meeting also includes a discussion of a draft decision to oblige the Minister of Health to take actions and measures to conclude a Collective Labor Agreement in the “Health“ and for the application of sanctions in case of non-payment of the labor remunerations provided for in it to the medical specialists.
The Constitution provides for the possibility of convening a session of the National Assembly at the request of one fifth of the people's representatives. The rules of the parliament say that the speaker is obliged to schedule a meeting no later than seven days after receiving the request, regardless of whether the NA is on vacation or not.
The Parliamentary Group (PG) of "BSP for Bulgaria" will not participate in the extraordinary session of the parliament, the BSP leader Cornelia Ninova said at an extraordinary briefing yesterday, quoted by the party's press center.
People's representatives from "Revival" will not attend the extraordinary session of the National Assembly, Kostadin Kostadinov said on Friday in a message released by the party's press center. We call for the meeting not to take place, and for the people's representatives with a conscience not to enter the hall, he adds.
