The opposition parties in the Bulgarian Parliament have presented their priorities for the new political season. GERB-SDS political party has demanded the urgent adoption of a state budget and a governance programme to be presented by the government. GERB politicians describes as "ridiculous" the requests for the simultaneous construction of 4 bridges over the Danube and 3 tunnels under the Balkan Mountains.


According to the MRF, Bulgarians expect an increase in income, employers seek partnership with the state, the EU and NATO expect the country to be a predictable and loyal ally and they will work for it.

The Vazrazhdane party MPs again demanded the abolition of the green certificate against Covid and threatened with protests in front of parliament.

The ruling majority again postponed discussions on a proposal to introduce a mandatory green certificate or a rapid test for those entering parliament.
