"We continue the change" - "Democratic Bulgaria" (PP-DB) invited GERB on Tuesday March 5 to jointly table the rules for appointments to the Anti-Corruption Commission. It was due to begin work today, but that did not happen because its members were not chosen. The Anti-Corruption Commission consists of three members, who can only be elected after the rules for their nomination and election have been approved by parliament, according to a law recently passed by the current parliament. "Let this procedure be an example for all other regulators," PP-DB co-leader Kiril Petkov urged at a press conference.
