/ world today news/ The BSP initiated a petition to create a temporary parliamentary committee regarding the approved loan in the amount of BGN 16 billion and the method of negotiation.
The news was announced by MPs from BSP.
The BSP will ask the commission to act for a period of three months and study the document flow and correspondence of the government or individual members of it in connection with the dealership contract, the agency contract and the act of assumption of obligations for 8 billion euros, explained Krasimir Yankov. According to the BSP, after the debt vote in the plenary hall, the need to increase trust in all parliamentary groups and institutions is indisputable.
The commission will have to verify the costs and the basis for their implementation in preparation for the withdrawal of the loan, as well as establish the way in which the banks were selected, he added. “The work of the temporary commission and its results will contribute to transparency and will confirm or reject the unlawful restriction of the banks participating in the procedure,” emphasized Yankov.
The governing coalition already has a 2+ formula, with GERB and DPS voting together on all important laws – the law on the budget, pension funds, and now the huge debt of BGN 16 billion, said Rumen Gechev. He pointed out that even with the start of negotiations on the contract, which was ratified yesterday by the National Assembly, the government negotiated behind the backs of the Bulgarian voters and the people’s representatives.
From where will negotiations with four investment intermediaries be conducted without the knowledge of the Bulgarian Parliament and from where will the figure of 8 billion euros appear in the document, which no one authorized them, Rumen Gechev asked. He also asked how a contract would be ratified by the parliament, without it being clear what the commissions under this contract would be.
Out of BGN 16 billion, only 1% commissions make BGN 160 million – we ask and want to check what the commissions are and under what conditions these services will be provided, but we are not being answered, explained Rumen Gechev. “Doesn’t this large sum explain to you the schizophrenic behavior of some parliamentary groups in a matter of hours and minutes”, asked Rumen Gechev and added that according to BSP information, the government concluded a contract and assigned another group of two British companies and seven Bulgarian experts , which are around the “big pizza” for commission distribution. Some of these Bulgarian experts, according to the BSP, participated in the reformatting of the Bulgarian debt in 2002, which caused millions of damage to the Bulgarian people.
The BSP still hopes that President Rosen Plevneliev will veto the ratification of the loan agreement, but if he does not, they have reiterated that they will certainly prepare a constitutional complaint and attempt to appeal to the Constitutional Court.

Bulgarian Socialist Party Interview with MPs from the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and a Representative from the Governing Coalition on the Initiative for a Temporary Parliamentary Committee Regarding the Approved Loan in the Amount of BGN 16 Billion and the Method of Negotiation:
**Guests:**
– Krasimir Yankov, Member of Parliament from BSP
– Rumen Gechev, Member of Parliament from Governing Coalition
**Topic 1: The Initiative for a Temporary Parliamentary Committee**
Web editor: What was the motive behind the BSP’s decision to initiate a petition for the creation of a temporary parliamentary committee regarding the approved loan in the amount of BGN 16 billion and the method of negotiation?
Krasimir Yankov: The BSP initiated this petition to increase trust in all parliamentary groups and institutions after the debt vote in the plenary hall. We believe that this committee will contribute to transparency and help verify the costs, basis for their implementation, and the way in which banks were selected. Additionally, we want to establish how a contract can be ratified without clarity on commissions under this contract.
Rumen Gechev: The governing coalition has a 2+ formula, with GERB and DPS voting together on all important laws. So, it’s crucial for us to understand the need for a temporary parliamentary committee when the government is already negotiating with investment intermediaries. The figures in this contract are not clear, and we have reason to believe that some parliamentary groups are acting schizophrenically due to this large sum of money involved.
**Topic 2: The Method of Negotiation and Selection of Investment Intermediaries**
Web editor: How will the work of the temporary commission contribute to transparency, and what specific areas are they expected to investigate?
Krasimir Yankov: The temporary commission will need to verify the costs and the basis for their implementation in preparation for the withdrawal of the loan. Additionally, they will establish the method by which banks were selected. We hope this will confirm or reject any unlawful restriction of banks participating in the procedure.
Rumen Gechev: We have questions about the negotiations
