Kostadinov demands Atanasova's resignation

Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov called on Constitutional Court judge Desislava Atanasova to resign. The reason is information provided by Interior Minister Ivan Demerdzhiev regarding a trip by Atanasova together with Delyan Peevski to Dubai on April 5, 2024.

"I believe that in this situation, if Desislava Atanasova has political morality, she should resign," Kostadinov stated.

Dispute over the "Virtues and Religion" subject

Kostadinov announced that Vazrazhdane will seek a meeting with Patriarch Daniil after the bill for introducing religious education in schools was rejected in committee. The MP sharply criticized representatives of "Progressive Bulgaria" for their opposition to the idea.

The party plans to resubmit the bill immediately after the legal deadline expires.
