With calls for the resignation of the MPs in Bulgaria’s parliament because they do not know how to do their job, the right-of-centre coalition Democratic Bulgaria submitted their written objections to the National Assembly.

In an interview for the BNR, Hristo Ivanov, co-chairman of Democratic Bulgaria declared there was a rule of law crisis in Bulgaria. In his words the prosecutor general is indulging in selective media lynching, while the presumption of innocence has been abolished.

“We were scandalized by parliament’s total lack of interest,” Ivanov stressed and added that “there is not a single member of parliament who is free from fear so as to ask the prosecutor general about the crisis in the rule of law.” In Hristo Ivanov words there is uncertainty because chats and text messages are being used as an instrument of repression, and to bring down the businesses of certain individuals.
