Democratic Bulgaria (DB) insists that the National Assembly not consider the ratification of the document for accession to the Council for Peace before the pronouncement of the Constitutional Court (CC). The request comes in connection with the government's plans to submit the document for ratification next week.

Nadezhda Yordanova from “Yes, Bulgaria”, part of “Democratic Bulgaria”, explained that the request is based on the Constitution, which provides the possibility for the CC to assess the compliance of the signed document with the basic law. Yordanova stressed that the document has been signed, but has not entered into force, and reminded that 48 signatures are needed to refer to the CC. She raised questions about the decision of the Council of Ministers and its confidentiality.

Yordan Ivanov added that Rosen Zhelyazkov has turned Bulgaria into the periphery of Europe.

Bozhidar Bozhanov from “Yes, Bulgaria” commented on the failed discussion of the changes in the Electoral Code, expressing doubts about a majority for these changes and noted the proposals for cleaning up the electoral lists. Ivaylo Mirchev announced that they will file a new signal with the prosecutor's office regarding activities related to Delyan Peevski.

In response to a question about potential partnership with Rumen Radev, Bozhidar Bozhanov emphasized that DB has stated its position: Bulgaria must be in the heart of Europe.
