“July 12 marked the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Bulgarian Constitution, according to which Bulgaria is a republic with a parliamentary government. The National Assembly occupies a paramount place in the state system and as a national representative body, expressing the will of the people, determines the main policies of the government in all spheres of public life. The National Assembly exercises parliamentary control and thus exercises parliamentarism. A strong parliament means a direct relationship with the people, a constant search for responsibility in the members of the Council of Ministers, so that they are more careful in their actions, “Miteva said from the parliamentary rostrum.
“Leaving true to universal values - freedom, equality, justice, tolerance – we must strive to fulfill the principles of the rule of law – legality, legal certainty, prohibition of arbitrary executive power, independent and effective judicial control, respect on the basis of human rights, equality before the law, “she added.
