A green certificate will not be required to enter the buildings of the National Assembly, the Bulgarian MPs have decided. GERB's proposal to make the document mandatory sparked three days of debates but was rejected. Prof. Alexander Simidchiev from "Democratic Bulgaria" supported the idea of the introduction of a green certificate, currently mandatory for a large group of citizens and children in schools. According to Toshko Yordanov from "There Is Such a People", the document requirement should be lifted altogether, as it was killing business. It was voted that MPs under quarantine would take part in the parliamentary meetings remotely.
