The majority in parliament has rejected the BSP's request for a hearing in plenary today of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Krasimir Karakachanov.

Even if the proposal was accepted, it could not be implemented, as Defence Minister Karakachanov is now visiting the United States.
