I voted with "abstain" for the two parliamentary immunities because this is Sarafov's prosecutor's office, explained her vote to journalists in the National Assembly by the deputy chairwoman of the "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria" party, Lena Borislavova.
Today, the parliament did not give permission to lift the parliamentary immunities of Jeyhan Ibryamov and Mario Rangelov from the "Democracy, Rights and Freedoms" party - DPS.
According to Borislavova, this is Sarafov's prosecutor's office, which "does not investigate by chance, it attacks for political reasons and does it at the right moment to please Peevski and GERB, when necessary". The principle of the Constitution does not work in Bulgaria - that we are a state governed by the rule of law, that is why I voted with "abstention", she explained. And she gave an example that there are no investigations into Corpbank, the "Eight Dwarfs", and "people sanctioned under the "Magnitsky" law are touring the television studios".
From "Continuing Change - Democratic Bulgaria" they also stated that they will closely monitor what is happening with Delyan Peevski's regional governors. Yesterday, the leader of the PG "DPS - New Beginning" Delyan Peevski called on them to resign.
For a long time, Peevski has been explaining to us that he has nothing to do with the caretaker government and has no influence. Yesterday, he refuted this, calling on all his regional governors and deputy regional governors to leave, Tatyana Sultanova pointed out. We will monitor what is happening and whether everyone will have the courage to leave their positions, she added.
We will all see whether the new government will manage to shake off the influence or at least give a symbolic sign, a statement that it is shaking off the staffing in favor of Delyan Peevski, Lena Borislavova also commented. Because, she said, these appointments were made by GERB staff - caretaker Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, who explained that these were his personnel decisions, BTA reported.
