"We Continue the Change" and "Democratic Bulgaria" have accused the other five parties represented in parliament of a conspiracy against the admission of Bulgaria to the Eurozone.

Martin Dimitrov from DB insisted on the immediate adoption of changes to the Insurance Act so that "we do not miss the last train to enter the Eurozone". The reason for the declaration he read was the lack of quorum at the Monday's meeting of the Economic Policy Committee, which prevented the adoption of the changes at second reading. "There is no quorum because there is an agreement between GERB, MRF, BSP, Vazrazhdane and Bulgarian Rise", Dimitrov said.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the changes are a condition for Bulgaria's negotiations to join the Eurozone, while according to the insurance industry and other MPs, they would lead to frauds, draining of companies and an increase in the price of the mandatory "Civil Liability" insurance due to the requirement that Bulgarian insurers pay for road accidents abroad before being able to dispute the claims, reporter Maria Fileva informed.
