The coalition "Democratic Bulgaria", which is part of the ruling majority, will raise the issue of lustration to make sure that no people from the former State Security become part of the government, the Chairman of the parliamentary group of “Democratic Bulgaria” Hristo Ivanov announced.

Lustration was subject to discussions after four people linked to the services of the totalitarian regime were appointed advisers to Bulgaria’s new Minister of Foreign Affairs Teodora Genchovska. One day later, their names were deleted from the Foreign Ministry's website.

Hristo Ivanov also asked Bulgaria’s Minister of Defense Stefan Yanev to acquaint the National Assembly Defense Committee with his reservations against the deployment of NATO forces in Bulgaria.
