The National Assembly Committee on Legal Affairs rejected at an extraordinary sitting in Parliament the veto imposed by Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev on the anti-corruption law. Ten MPs voted in favor, seven MPs voted against and no MPs abstained.

In his words, the Bulgarian citizens and media will continue to lead this struggle.
