The National Assembly will go into a one-month recess. The last plenary sittings will be held on October 5 and 6. The MPs will return to Parliament on November 8, after the second round of the local elections (the local elections will be held on October 29 and the run-off election will be held on November 5).

The proposal was submitted by the parliamentary groups of GERB, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms and We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria. Only parliamentary committees will continue to meet. GERB MP Toma Bikov explained that this will be a kind of creative leave and time for reflection for the MPs, after which they will be more useful to society.
