After the Bulgaro Constitutional Court ordered a partial count of the results of the October elections, the Ultra-Nacionalist and Pro-Ruso Vellicchie party now has ten places in Parliament.
The composition of the Bulgarian Parliament changed, after the Constitutional Court ordered a partial count of the votes of the October elections.
After the count, the ultra -nationalist party and Pro -Ruso Vellichie, whose name means “greatness” in Bulgarian, has reached the voting threshold necessary to enter Parliament.
Previously, the party had not failed a minimum of 4% of the votes.
After the decision of the Court, the Bulgarian Parliament received ten politicians from Velichie on Friday as new deputies.
His arrival leaves the coalition government with a tangential majority. Previously, there were 126 of the 240 seats in Parliament, but this number has now been reduced to 121.
The Balkan country has had seven elections in the last four years and is still trying to overcome the consequences of this long political crisis.
EU adoption in draft?
The observers warned that a new early vote could undermine the country’s goal to join the Eurozone at the beginning of next year.
Former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, whose GERB of the center-right party leads the current coalition government, said his opponents had created “chaos” by questioning the results of the elections.
Borissov also criticized President Rumen Radev, who has disagreed with the Government on foreign policy issues because he allegedly tried to overthrow him.
“The conspiracy was successful and stole from us. President Radev cannot continue pretending that he is not involved because his judges did all this,” Borissov told journalists.
