With today's sitting, the 44th National Assembly concludes its work. It will remain in history with its moving to a different building, becoming the first since 2009 to serve a full four-year term and restricting journalists' direct access to lawmakers. It adopted 497 laws and discussed 829 draft bills. The accumulated number of "unexcused absences" of MPs from sittings reached a total of 5,163. A total of 43 questions were officially addressed to Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, as he answered 14 of them - 9 in writing and 5 in the plenary hall, BNR reporter Daniel Inkov said.
39% of projects were proposed by the government and 61 percent by MPs, despite the fact they have less expert resources at their disposal. As a result the quality of bills has been falling. The trend that started in 2001, to amend laws through transitional final provisions, continued. During the 43rd National Assembly 35% of the changes were of this kind, while in the 44th they reached 37%. This is what constitutional law lecturer at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski ”Assoc. Prof. Natalia Kiselova, has told BNR.
Most of the draft bills discussed in the National Assembly were related to the sphere of justice. Finance, social policy and economy follow, which is explained by the pandemic.
