The first sitting of the National Assembly for 2024 is to take place today. “During the new political season, which starts on 11 January, the first legislative acts are connected with the election of constitutional judges from the parliamentary quota and the drafting of rules for the election of the management of the regulatory bodies,” National Assembly President Rosen Zhelyazkov announced a few days ago. Consultations are opening among the parties of the ruling majority on the rotation of prime ministers scheduled for March.

The nationalist Vazrazhdane and There Is Such a People (ITN) declared they would be submitting a contestation, to the Constitutional Court, of the amendments to the Constitution. Vazrazhdane put a focus on the possibility of persons with dual citizenship being being appointed as cabinet ministers and MPs.

President Rumen Radev also contested the amendments to the Constitution at the Constitutional Court.
