After weeks of political deadlock,Assoc. natalia Kiselova of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) – United Left has been elected as the chairperson of Bulgaria’s 51st National Assembly.
Kiselova secured 140 votes, garnering support from BSP-OL, GERB-SDS, and PP-DB. Her victory came after a tense runoff against ITP candidate Silvi Kirilov. “Vazrazhdane”, DPS – NN, ITN, and “Mech” opposed her candidacy, casting 93 votes against her.
The decisive shift in support for Kiselova came after the PP-DB announced its backing for her candidacy. This followed confirmation that all MPs from the BSP-OL had signed a declaration by the PP-DB. The declaration outlined the creation of a “sanitary cordon” around controversial figure Delyan Peevski and his DPS-New Beginning party.It also stipulated conditions for the passage of bills related to the judicial system.
“We have a obligation to unblock the work of the parliament,” stated a PP-DB representative. “This agreement ensures the necesary conditions for progress on crucial legislative matters.”
Kiselova’s election marks the end of a four-week stalemate that had paralyzed Bulgaria’s parliament. The successful vote paves the way for the resumption of legislative work and the addressing of pressing national issues.
A groundbreaking finding in the field of archaeology has unearthed a trove of ancient artifacts in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The find, hailed as one of the most notable in recent decades, sheds new light on the complex history and sophisticated culture of pre-Columbian civilizations in South America.
The excavation, led by a team of international researchers, uncovered a vast network of interconnected settlements dating back over 1,000 years. Among the remarkable discoveries are intricately carved stone sculptures, elaborate pottery adorned with enigmatic symbols, and remnants of sophisticated agricultural systems.
“This discovery fully rewrites our understanding of the pre-Columbian Amazon,” said Dr. Elena Ramirez, lead archaeologist on the project. “It demonstrates the existence of a highly organized and technologically advanced society that thrived in this region long before European contact.”
The artifacts reveal a culture deeply connected to the natural world, with depictions of animals, plants, and celestial bodies prominently featured in their art. Researchers believe these symbols may hold clues to the society’s religious beliefs and understanding of the cosmos.
“The level of detail and artistry in these artifacts is truly astonishing,” remarked Dr. Ramirez. ”It speaks to the ingenuity and creativity of these ancient people.”
The team is currently working to analyze the artifacts and map the extent of the settlements. they hope that further research will unlock even more secrets about this lost civilization and its place in the history of the Americas.
This groundbreaking discovery not only enriches our understanding of the past but also highlights the importance of preserving the Amazon rainforest, a region teeming with untold historical and cultural treasures.
