From the rostrum, she stressed that on April 4, more than half of Bulgarian voters had fulfilled their public duty and cast their vote to constitute the National Assembly. “The expectations of the voters for the implementation of the election programs for clear, predictable and stable legislation, the work not of the whim of the minute, but the fruit of sound reflection and comprehensive consideration, are turned to us and our work,” Miteva was categorical.
“Transparency and accountability must be guiding principles in the work of this National Assembly, as the constitutional norms related to parliamentary control, the hearing of the judiciary and the bodies elected in full or in part by the parliament are filled with content. Let us make efforts for dialogue with each other, for seeking good solutions, for a high parliamentary culture, for us to be worthy representatives of the people, “she called from the rostrum.
