“The endeavor to fast-track the legislative process produces poor quality laws,” Assoc. Prof. Natalia Kiselova, lecturer in constitutional law said for the BNR. In her words the past decades have seen the establishment of lasting tendencies leading to poor-quality legislation in Bulgaria.

“The expertise of government service officials is by far higher than the capacity of an individual member of parliament,” she added.
