With 7 votes "in favour" and 12 abstentions, the parliamentary energy commission has rejected GERB-SDS's proposal to provide state aid due to the expensive electricity to municipalities, hospitals, kindergartens, schools and religious institutions. The proposal was not supported with a financial analysis by the importers and provided for the finance and energy ministers to set up a full compensation mechanism for this type of consumers.

"Currently, the dispute is about compensation - instead of being about how and in what way we can get out of the critical situation," said Ramadan Atalay of the MRF.

The main argument of the abstaining deputies was that this decision is in the power of the executive, not the parliament.
