Days later, on September 26 and 27, the party's 50th congress will take place. Currently, leader is the first woman to lead the party in their history, Kornelia Ninova.

The National Council also discussed the idea of setting up a parliamentary inquiry committee to investigate the government's links to accused businessman Vasil Bozhkov, who is hiding in Dubai.
