The Head of State again appeals to the Constitutional Court for the amendments to the Constitution made by 49 -th National Assembly, the press office of the president informed.
President Rumen Radev again appealed to the Constitutional Court today with a request to declare unconstitutional changes to the Constitution made by the 49th National Assembly, related to the abolition of the ban on dual citizenship as a mandatory condition for the election of people's representatives, for rashly introduced principle of continuity of the mandate of the deputies and the parliament, as well as with regard to the formation of an official government.
In his reasons, the head of state emphasizes his consistent positions, justifying the need for a re-referral to the Constitutional Court and the emergence of a number of new circumstances that appeared during the application of the contested texts. The attacked changes in the Constitution “repeal the mechanisms for bearing political responsibility in the formation and functioning of state government bodies”, the president states in his reasons.
In his request to the Constitutional Court, the head of state notes that the re-referral will provide an opportunity to clarify a number of controversial points that have already marked the procedures for forming an interim government under the new order and which continue to hinder the functioning of constitutionally established bodies, in this number of the parliament itself.
Even at the moment, part of the difficulties in choosing the Speaker of the National Assembly are an expression of the presence of this high office in the so-called “home book“ for the election of an acting Prime Minister.
