Constitutional Court opens a case filed by Bulgarian Socialist Party

Bulgaria's Constitutional Court has opened a case at the request of the Bulgarian Socialist Party. The opposition party considers unconstitutional the decision that MPs placed in isolation because of Covid-19 should be allowed to participate in parliamentary sessions online.

The decision contradicts the basic law that plenary sessions begin when "more than half of MPs are present," the BSP says. 
The ruling GERB and United Patriots parties changed the parliamentary rules due to quorum problems. If the Constitutional Court declares the change unconstitutional, it will compromise the decisions voted until now via remote participation of MPs in the plenary sessions.
