"Democratic Bulgaria" (DB) will remain a constant corrective to the concentration of power, supporting every reform aimed at curbing political capture, stimulating competition, ensuring the independence of institutions, delivering measurable results for citizens, and affirming Bulgaria's European path. Nadezhda Yordanova, from the coalition's parliamentary group, emphasized in a statement for the new plenary session that the goal is to make the state freer, institutions more independent, governance more accountable, and Bulgaria stronger.

Yordanova firmly stated that DB will oppose any dependencies and attempts to compensate for a lack of reforms by taking on more debt, increasing taxes, or imposing new burdens on working people. During the upcoming session, the coalition will continue to table its proposals with concrete solutions. Among these is the first bill prepared for debate in the plenary hall, which concerns the real reduction of prices for household electrical appliances. She recalled that the corresponding amendments to the Waste Management Act, which address the problem, were submitted to the National Assembly's registry back in late April.

According to Yordanova, the past one hundred days of governance reveal a real model based on political incantations rather than solutions. She criticized the personnel reshuffling, in which tested figures from "There Is Such a People," GERB, BSP, and DPS were brought in, instead of dismantling old dependencies. The MP pointed out that although a government program has finally been presented, it resembles a calendar with deadlines more than a real contract with society, often lacking clear goals, indicators, and accountability mechanisms.

Regarding judicial reform, Yordanova noted that the proposals for changes to the Constitution and the work of the Supreme Judicial Council require serious debate. However, she emphasized that a comprehensive reform of the Prosecutor's Office is missing. In her words, questions remain unanswered, such as limiting excessive centralization and ending the practice of the institution serving as a tool for retaliation, as she asked how the situation—intolerable to society, "depicted by a Prosecutor General who said that only God is above him"—would be brought to an end.

In the context of foreign policy, Yordanova pointed out that Bulgaria is demonstrating an absence from key formats where issues of European defense, Black Sea security, and support for Ukraine are decided. She emphasized that the national interest requires that the "empty chair" be replaced with a strong presence at the table where the future security architecture of Europe is being forged.

Regarding media freedom, Yordanova cited the government's reaction following a murder in Plovdiv as an example, where criticism of the opposition replaced an adequate security plan. She criticized the Council of Ministers' attempts to turn public media into its own press office and expressed concern over signals of a possible rearrangement of ownership in major private media and the government's contacts with media players. DB will continue to defend editorial independence and predictable funding for the BNR and BNT.

In conclusion, Yordanova defined the 2027 budget as the "big test." She stated that they would monitor whether deficits and rising costs would again be shifted onto the middle class, economically active citizens, and future generations. She emphasized that they would insist on hearings and active parliamentary oversight to see who bears the responsibility, and that DB would remain an opponent of any increase in the tax and social security burden, with which the government attempts to finance the lack of reforms.
