Toshko Yordanov, ITN: The first power has no right to have a speaker of the parliament  - 1

It will hardly be clear tomorrow whether or not the 51st parliament will be. The voltage, i.e. the tension now is greater than what will happen. Otherwise, people have the right to protest, it is their right, and there is no problem in the fact that there will be several protests. This is what he commented in the studio of "The day begins with Georgi Lyubenov" the chairman of the PG of "There is such a people" in the current National Assembly Toshko Yordanov.

"The first power has no right to have a speaker of the parliament. There is some similar attitude as traditional behavior, but some of it was destroyed with the change of the Constitution. What the GERB-SDS, DPS and PP-DB assemblage did was actually make the speaker of the parliament and a political position in the executive potentially. We have seen the results. We have elections that are perhaps, as a feeling, one of the most unfair in Bulgarian history, precisely because of the stupid changes in the Constitution, which allowed the DPS and GERB to have offices under the Constitution. We see the result. The protests on Monday will also be a consequence of this. The silencing of the parliament will also be a consequence of this," Yordanov said.

According to him, several moves - one is to see how much sense there will be in the other political parties. And the second is that already on Monday they will start collecting signatures for another appeal to the Constitutional Court to cancel the decisions in the part about the official offices.

That is why ITN insists on the return of the old Constitution in this part and that the president, whoever he may be, can hold official offices between elections.

Since such an appeal has already been initiated by the BSP, these will be two appeals for the return of presidential powers, Toshko Yordanov also commented and explained:

"There will be two. We will sign theirs, they will sign ours, we will seek signatures from the rest of our colleagues, and in the end, when they enter the Constitutional Court, when it is on the same topic, usually the practice is such that the court unites them. In contrast to what we have currently appealed to the Constitutional Court, we have appealed to them for a partial annulment of the elections, as evidence of a complete annulment must be presented to them. Personally, I doubt that if it was for the whole, it would have passed at all. While we have partially submitted enough evidence and if the court is fair, maybe within two months we will have a normal decision."
