The request of BSP and MRF for the early release of Tsveta Karayancheva from the position of President of the National Assembly was rejected by 126 votes of GERB, United Patriots, Volya and some of the independent MPs, reporter of the "Horizon" program of the Bulgarian National Radio Violeta Ashikova informed. The BSP and MRF demanded Karayancheva’s resignation on the grounds that she was not fulfilling her duties as parliament speaker, did not know the Constitution and undermined the prestige of the National Assembly.

Speaking in parliament, Karayancheva rejected the accusations and said that the coalition between BSP and MRF had come to light once again.

"Your goal is not me, the woman Tsveta Karayancheva. Nor the position of President of the National Assembly. Your goal is to remove the legally elected and publicly agreed ruling coalition from power," the speaker said.
