“Since we are partners in need, as long as most of the parliamentary groups support it, the government will work“, told journalists, the Speaker of the National Assembly Natalia Kiselova, when asked to comment on the words of Vice President Iliana Yotova regarding the unsuccessful third vote of no confidence that “there will be a government until Mr. Peevski says“.
“I think that with nine parliamentary groups, each of them wants to appear to have more weight than it does, and since we are partners in need, as long as most of the parliamentary groups support the government, the parliament will work“, said Natalia Kiselova.
Asked if the parliament will go on vacation in August, Kiselova explained that there are bills that must be adopted before the summer vacation.
„It depends on whether they are adopted whether we will use a leave, which is according to the regulations, or whether we will work. It depends on how we will move forward with the legislative program in the coming weeks. There are two main priorities - Bulgaria's smooth entry into the eurozone and receiving the money from the second tranche of the Recovery and Resilience Plan“, she added.
The Speaker of Parliament attended the laying of flowers at the memorial of the police officers who died in the line of duty, and before that, the celebration of the 146th anniversary of the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of the Monument to the Unknown Soldier in Sofia.
