They wanted to send the previous rulers to the back seats
They will choose a boss with a show of hands
The deputies are returning to the historic building on National Assembly Square, at least for the opening of the 45th parliament. President Rumen Radev convened its first meeting on April 15th by decree on Tuesday.
The decision to hold the meeting in the old building was taken at yesterday’s first meeting of representatives of the 6 parliamentary groups with the administration of the National Assembly. The proposal came from Toshko Yordanov from “There is such a people” and was supported by all but GERB.
This first vote confirmed the expectations of Boyko Borissov’s people to be isolated in the new parliament.
Yordanov requested that all meetings of the deputies be in the old plenary hall. “This is the real parliament building, not this Party House.
We will continue
to offer
all meetings
to be there – the National Assembly should be in the building of the National Assembly, not in the Communist Party House “, he said.
He was supported by Maya Manolova, who declared the old white building a symbol of parliamentarism. “GERB lost the first vote,” she boasted after the meeting. Representatives of the MRF – Hamid Hamid, and the BSP – Christian Vigenin, also announced that they supported the proposal to start the parliament on the National Assembly Square. But the decision to return permanently was left to the new Conference of Presidents.
The six groups also distributed their seats in the plenary hall. (How – see chart.) However, this caused a scandal at the meeting.
Maria Capone from “Stand up! Mutri van ”asked GERB to be in the back seats, without any seats in the front rows, 24 Chasa has learned.
“It simply came to our notice then
let’s leave
find”,
she threatened the representatives of GERB. Her request was not considered.
On their first plenary day, however, the groups will not have rooms to meet because there is currently an administration in the old building that cannot be removed so quickly. And in the plenary there is neither a sound system nor an electronic one for voting. Therefore, the vote for the new leadership will be a show of hands.
The deputies will start the new mandate without personal cabinets, as the entire wing of the former Party House on Dondukov Blvd. will be overhauled. Thus, commissions and administration will have to gather in the opposite wing.
Tuesday’s meeting was technical for her as well
it didn’t happen
question about
the future
chairman
of Parliament. The nominations will become clear on the first plenary day.
Yordanov explained that ITN has no solution. The name of Iva Miteva from Slavi’s party, which headed the legal directorate of the National Assembly, is also mentioned as chairman.
Each group has the right to a deputy chief position. The only one with a nomination is the BSP, which is re-nominating Christian Vigenin, who held the post in the previous term. On behalf of “Stand up! Get out! ” Tatiana Doncheva will most likely sit in the presidency. And Manolova is expected to head the group, which is meeting today.
Traditionally, leaders Cornelia Ninova and Mustafa Karadayi take over the BSP and MRF groups, respectively. Daniela Daritkova is expected to remain at the helm of GERB.
Celebrate in quarantine until April 27, with two others swearing online
It is good despite COVID, assures his deputy Toshko Yordanov
LSlavi Trifonov, the leader of “There is such a people”, will not be able to attend the first sitting of the 45th parliament and take the oath in the hall like the other deputies. The reason is that Trifonov is under quarantine for coronavirus until April 27.
However, the leader of “There is such a people” can swear online, officials from the parliamentary administration explained. Thus, two more of the new deputies, who are also in quarantine, will swear. They are also from the group of “There is such a people”.
Opportunity for MPs to participate online in parliamentary sessions was given in the last months of the mandate of the 44th National Assembly. Thus, GERB provided a quorum when there were coronavirus patients in their parliamentary group and that of the Patriots.
Slavi Trifonov is well and recovering, explained on Tuesday the deputy chairman of the party of the showman Toshko Yordanov. However, he declined to give further details.
Trifonov announced that he had symptoms of coronavirus on the night of the April 4 elections. However, his urinal test was not done until April 10. Then Yordanov officially announced that the party leader was ill with COVID-19.
Due to the weekend, however, the information in the Regional Health Inspectorate about Trifonov’s disease was received only on Tuesday. Since then, it has been in the obligatory 14-day quarantine for all infected people.
