The parliamentary groups of "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria", GERB-SDF and the opposition Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) submitted to the Parliament's registry a joint draft amendment to the Constitution. The bill was signed by 166 MPs out of 240.

The draft divides the Supreme Judicial Council into a judges' and prosecutors' college, reduces the powers of the prosecutor-general and declares 24 May - the day of the Bulgarian alphabet - a national holiday. When a caretaker government is formed, the president will choose a caretaker prime minister from among the speaker of the dissolved parliament, the governor of the National Bank or the president of the Supreme Court of Cassation.

MP Delyan Peevski commented that the MRF had abandoned its project for changes in order to have judicial reform and a new constitution by New Year.
