Deputies will receive their salaries only by bank transfer. This was written in the new rules of parliament by the MPs with 131 “for”, without objections, and 29 of the MRF and “Vazrazhdane” abstained.
Surprisingly, the proposal passed in the plenary hall after it was rejected at the meeting of the temporary committee on the rules. Until now, MPs have had the opportunity to choose how to receive their salaries, whether in cash or by bank, but they will no longer have that choice.
The proposal was on “Continuing Change” and sparked a brief but heated debate in which even coalition partners opposed it.
“Let’s show full transparency”, called for support of the idea Nastimir Ananiev from the PP, arguing that otherwise the law on cash payments is violated, where the amount of cash can be up to 10 thousand levs.
“We have always been in favor of paying salaries by bank transfer, but to be fair, but I do not know if Mr. Ananiev held Public Finance, but since I teach public finance at UNWE, I would write him a very poor grade.” , said Lubomir Karimanski from “There is such a people”.
