The sitting of the National Assembly started today with mounting tension in front of the parliamentary rostrum, insults and physical confrontation, after which the quaestors had to intervene.

The escalation started as MPs read out parliamentary declarations. Vazrazhdane called on We Continue the Change (PP) to leave parliament and hand back the mandate for the formation of a government, because they had shown “how the state was captured by foreign embassies.” PP accused Vazrazhdane of being a pro-Russian party, propagandists of Vladimir Putin. National Assembly President Rosen Zhelyazkov proposed that the sitting be adjourned. 140 MPs voted “for”. The MPs from the Bulgarian Socialist Party, There Is Such a People and Vazrazhdane voted “against”.
