Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has returned the Combating Corruption and Forfeiting Illegally Acquired Assets Bill for new debates at the National Assembly, by disputing the bill in principle and as a whole.
The motives to return the bill include a substantial disparity of the document with the goal it is aimed to pursue – notably, effective combating of corruption, as well as certain deviations from fundamental provisions of the Constitution and from international agreements to which the Republic of Bulgaria is a party.
