As of today Bulgarian parliament is in recess. The first sitting from the new plenary session will be on 4 September and will be extraordinary because of the holiday on 6 September – the Day of Reunification of the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia.

The ruling coalition assessed the work of parliament as positive and lauded its fruitful legislative work. Expectedly, the opposition’s assessment was negative – the parliamentary session that ends today has, once again, been marked by scandals and legislative chaos, they say.

As the MPs left parliament building, they were “seen off” by the latest in a string of protests by mothers of children with disabilities who have been on protest in a tent camp in front of the National Assembly building since the beginning of June.
