The MP from "Vazrazhdane" Daniel Prodanov issued a direct threat from the parliamentary rostrum to the President of the CTU - Plamen Dimitrov.

"Many people want to see him right now. He should be careful when walking on the streets. He should not threaten the Deputy Speaker of Parliament anymore," he warned him.

The spark between Dimitrov and "Vazrazhdane" was ignited yesterday during the Budget and Finance Committee in Parliament. Tsoncho Ganev and the President of the CTU got into a rough verbal fight, caused by a debate related to the price of bread for the poorest Bulgarians.

"Employers will soon send letters to start compensation for electricity for businesses. At the same time, when we have to tax the banks, everyone is against it. When we have to reduce the price of bread, here - the biggest players in business - you are against it. When it comes to compensation for the biggest corporations, however, you are all "for". Well, we from "Vazrazhdane" "We are fighting with you: both with the Confederation of Bulgarian Trade Unions and with that part of big business that is against reducing the rate for bread bought by the poorest," Ganev got angry at Dimitrov yesterday.

After which he called him "a stooge of GERB".

Dimitrov was not far behind and replied: "Continue a little longer and you will get what you deserve, but outside this hall".

At the same time, the deputies continue to listen to ministers and create legislation - who knows until how many hours, since they voted to extend the working day until the agenda is exhausted.

The representatives of the people will listen to the Minister of Energy, the Minister of Regional Development, and representatives of the KEVR on electricity and water prices. After that, successive amendments to the Electoral Code and the Judiciary Act are introduced in the plenary hall.
