In all probability, the "There is such a people" will have the honor of ringing the first bell of the 50th Parliament. Traditionally, the first meeting at which the newly elected members have to take the oath is chaired by the oldest member of parliament.

For the moment, it will probably turn out to be Assoc. Dr. Silvi Kirilov, MP from ITN, who is 73 years old.

Silvi Kirilov already has experience in the legislative body in the 45th, 46th and 47th National Assembly, news.bg recalls. In the 49th National Assembly, he was not a deputy, but now Slavi Trifonov's party is increasing its result, and so Kirilov will again cross the threshold of the parliament. This will be his first term in the new building where the people's representatives work. "There is such a people" have experience in opening parliament sessions with Mika Zaikova.

Yesterday, the Central Electoral Commission confirmed the names of our new deputies. Seven parties enter the 50th parliament, and in the plenary hall for the first time we will see people's representatives from the PP "Velichie".

At the first meeting, the deputies must take an oath and elect a chairman. Until the election of the Speaker of the Parliament, the honor of managing the chaos in the plenary hall falls to Silvi Kirilov. GERB has already stated that they have a proposal for the speaker of the parliament, and with the difference in votes between the largest parliamentary group, GERB, and the others, there is no drama expected with the election of the speaker, which is also considered the first test for the formation of majority. In the previous National Assembly, although it was difficult, Rosen Zhelyazkov was elected from GERB with a gentleman's agreement between GERB and PP-DB for rotation, which never happened, and only days before the dissolution of the National Assembly for an election campaign, Zhelyazkov was ousted. Thus, the last days of the 48th Parliament were completed with Rositsa Kirova as Speaker, again from GERB.

President Rumen Radev said that on Monday, June 17, he will schedule the convening of the new parliament, which also means the start of the procedure for consultations and handing over the mandates.
