The second-largest political force in Bulgaria’s Parliament, We Continue the Change, will support the nomination of Kristian Vigenin from the Bulgarian Socialist Party for National Assembly speaker. We Continue the Change MP Miroslav Ivanov said for the Bulgarian National Television (BNT) that his fellow party members are witnessing a lack of dialogue and compromise from most of the political forces.
During today’s sitting, the temporary Speaker of the 48th National Assembly Vezhdi Rashidov again called on the members of parliament to be sensible. Despite the calls, however, the MPs failed to elect a National Assembly speaker and the procedure started all over again.
“Currently, we are hostages to political ego”, GERB MP Denitsa Sacheva said after the sitting. For his part, Kiril Petkov from We Continue the Change said that his party is seeking compromise and dialogue.
