I don’t know who is asking for the resignation, there is a turn for submission, discussion and voting in the hall.
This is how the Speaker of the National Assembly Rosen Zhelyazkov commented on the request for his resignation from the BSP, after earlier today Kornelia Ninova complained about censorship and accused him that by changing the Rules for the Internal Order of the National Assembly, MPs are prohibited from talking to journalists and citizens in the National Assembly building.
Ninova has informed you of a change in the rules, I hope she will re-read the text that has been changed. The only difference is that the possibility of an individual deputy to hold meetings in the pre-election campaign and to use the buildings of the National Assembly as an event place is limited, Zhelyazkov explained. And he explained that the deputies will not be able to hold events that are not related to the work of the National Assembly.
Zhelyazkov also cites the existing text that has been in effect over the years. And he explained that the difference is that for the campaign only the possibility of an individual deputy holding events in the National Assembly building as part of his election campaign is excluded. Otherwise, groups and committees will be able to.
Cornelia Ninova can do anything at any time because she is Cornelia Ninova. The difference is that he cannot celebrate the BSP’s anniversary in the National Assembly.
Regarding the BSP’s accusations that it is doing this because of “Chotash”, Zhelyazkov explained that there is a request for an extraordinary meeting, and he will make a decision today.
Meetings with journalists are not limited. The difference is only for an individual deputy, Zhelyazkov explained.
At the moment, all initiatives outside the legislative program are pre-election, said the head of the National Assembly.
There are many cases of MPs from all groups wanting to book rooms for holding meetings on issues on the society’s agenda, staffing lists, multimedia, technology, it is not clear what these meetings are. That’s why I decided that during the campaign this could be done only on behalf of the parliamentary groups and committees, Zhelyazkov explained.
