With 12 votes "for", 5 "against" and one "abstention", the Legal Committee in the Parliament has amended the Regulations of the National Assembly and cancelled the rotating chairmanship of the Commission for the Control of Security Services.

The deputy from "We Continue the Change" and former interior minister Boyko Rashkov objected to the reasons. On January 25, the change is expected to be voted on in the plenary hall.

The leader of the Vazrazhdane party, Kostadin Kostadinov, stated that it was not a problem if his party lost the chairman's place in the Legal Committee although this is an act of lustration, he said.

"This commission anyway, although they try to present it as something very grandiose and its chairman as a kind of "a gray cardinal" who has access to very big secrets, all this is only formal," said Kostadinov and emphasized that their access was withdrawn when they started asking questions about smuggling across the border.
