What “Continuing the Change - Democratic Bulgaria” did, is a reasonable gesture towards the situation and a good step. We need to get out of the political crisis and the parliament should finally work. This was stated on Nova News by the MP from “There is such a people” Prof. Andrey Chorbanov, after the coalition announced on Monday that it will support Silvi Kirilov from ITN for the Speaker of the National Assembly and withdraws its nomination. “Our choice and proposal to the parliament was rational. We are a small parliamentary group, so we cannot rely on having a broadcast Speaker at all costs. Let's hope to reach a consensus tomorrow until a real majority is gathered, he added.
“Can Silvi Kirilov be a future prime minister – this is one factor that cannot be bypassed, of course it enters the “homeroom” book”, Prof. Chorbanov said and specified that the ITN proposes a Speaker of the Parliament, who will hold the position until a majority is formed. But if they fail, that's the order and Kirilov could be a potential prime minister. „I would ask everyone who comments on this topic, whether the current version is better?“,asked the national representative.
Prof. Chorbanov recalled that ITN filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court precisely against the changes in the Law concerning the election of an acting prime minister. „We offer rational solutions. What we did in the previous parliament when we were handed the third term – we are applying the same approach at the moment regarding the talks with the political parties. We propose specific and national tasks for the state”, he pointed out.
„Any political group in the National Assembly that is not yet formed as a parliamentary group has the right to support this. Proposing Silvi Kirilov as chairman, we cannot say who would support him, anyone can, the professor announced.
Regarding the budget, Prof. Chorbanov noted that the bills in the health and education sectors are important to him. “They are extremely important topics for society. It must be said that what is being said about Budget 2025 is not officially shown anywhere. I hear that the budget of the Health Fund will be increased by over BGN 9 billion, but at the expense of hospital treatment, which is terrible, he announced.
