We demand the resignation of the Speaker of the Parliament Natalia Kiselova, currently colleagues are working on the reasons, we will present them to all political forces. This was announced to journalists in parliament by Atanas Atanasov, an MP from the parliamentary group of “Continuing Change – Democratic Bulgaria“ (PP-DB), BTA reports. “This lady has become a repeat offender in violation of the rules“, he announced.
"Last week we demanded her resignation for lobbying for a gambling company, "is now assisting the majority in covering up this smuggling channel," Atanasov commented on the request for a hearing in parliament on the Plovdiv case. We have not held negotiations, we have informed our partners in the coalition first, he also announced. In response to a question: "What is happening in SANS," Atanasov replied: "During the Socialist era, there was one principle that meant: Removal by promotion."
"The ruling majority has once again covered up the smuggling channel connected to Peevski in Plovdiv. Some of our requests were rejected, and Speaker Kiselova is complicit by not putting the request to hear the police officers who shared information about the smuggling to a vote," said Bozhidar Bozanov from the PP-DB parliamentary group. The police umbrella has grown into a political one in parliament and a prosecutorial one, which aims to cover up everything, he believes.
Asked about the position regarding the requests to lift the immunities of deputies, Atanasov said that it is yet to be discussed. Bojanov said that last time they voted in favor of lifting the immunities so that there could be an investigation. “All MPs from our group - both from the PP and the DB, have given themselves immunities and we believe that this is the correct approach“, he added.
