Deputies will try today for the eleventh record time to elect the Speaker of the National Assembly.
At the beginning of the session, the chairman of the first session of the parliament Assoc. Silvi Kirilov congratulated all the namesakes on the occasion of Nicholas Day. Immediately afterwards, however, even before the candidacies for the chairman of the legislative body were announced, Ivaylo Mitkovski from PP-DB asked for an hour's break, but Kirilov only gave 15 minutes., reported by novini.bg
Thus, the people's representatives went on vacation before they got to work.
After the break, the nominations for Speaker of the Parliament were also presented, which were again four in number – Petar Petrov from “Vazrazhdane“, Assoc. Silvi Kirilov from ITN, Assoc. Natalia Kiselova from BSP-United Left and Gen. Atanas Atanasov from PP-DB.
Stanislav Balabanov from ITN opened the debates on the election of the Speaker of the National Assembly. From the parliamentary rostrum, he addressed the BSP-United Left candidate Natalia Kiselova and called on her to act sensibly and withdraw her candidacy if she wants to preserve her dignity and her authoritative image in society. Immediately afterwards, the PG of the BSP-United Left demanded that the ITN candidate Silvi Kirilov also withdraw his nomination, as he is “incompetent“ to lead the meetings in the plenary hall.
In the end, after successive portions of insults, qualifications, party labels and statements devoid of substance, Silvi Kirilov again gave a 15-minute break.
Before that, Gabriel Valkov from the BSP-United Left assured that if Assoc. If Kiselova is elected chairman with decisive votes from DPS-New Beginning, she will resign because they do not want the support of Delyan Peevski.
