Parliament is back after summer recess

After a month-long summer recess, the 51st National Assembly has resumed its work. Among the most pressing tasks facing MPs are voting on the 2026 budget, addressing water shortages, selecting members of the Anti-Corruption Commission, and holding a fifth vote of no confidence against Rosen Zhelyazkov's cabinet. The vote, to be initiated by We Continue the Change–Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB), targets what they describe as state capture.


In another development, a new protest has been announced in Sofia by the Justice for All initiative under the slogan “Resistance Against Dictatorship,” set to begin at 6:30 p.m.


The organisers said: “State institutions have been taken over and turned into personal instruments of a criminal group led by Delyan Peevski and Boyko Borissov.”
