The 48th National Assembly should engage in adopting important legislation under the Recovery and Resilience Plan, said Bulgaria’s President Rumen Radev at a briefing in Brussels. President Radev is participating in the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) commemorative summit. 

"There is no presidential autocracy, but the inability of political parties to form a government", said Rumen Radev and stated that he refuses to accept what is constantly instilled by politicians- that there is a one-man presidential rule in the country. President Radev stressed that according to the constitution, when parties cannot form a regular cabinet, the president is obliged to appoint a caretaker cabinet.

Regarding his veto on the amendments to the Electoral Code, he pointed out that the latest amendments replace the characteristics of machine voting as a type of electronic voting and turn it into voting with a paper ballot printed by the voting machine.
