The 50th National Assembly ended in a way that is very offensive to us, the Bulgarian citizens, Vice President Iliana Iotova said in Madzharovo, where the Day of Thracian Memory took place at the memorial complex with an ossuary near the Eastern Rhodope town.

"We watched some silent pictures, some people throwing remarks at each other, accusing each other of corruption and theft, but it was not clear what exactly happened there. The problem is extremely serious because it affects the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Mines Maritsa East," said the vice-president commenting the occupation of the parliamentary rostrum by the MPs of "Vazrazhdane" and ITN.

Iliana Iotova expressed hope that this day would remain in the memory of the people who on October 27 would cast ballots in the extraordinary parliamentary elections. "Let's make a wise choice this time, so that we don't get angry with ourselves afterwards," she said.
