In less than five minutes and without any debate, the National Assembly endorsed the nominations of Andrey Gurov, MP from We Continue the Change, and Petar Chobanov, MP from the Movement for Rights and Freedoms for deputy governors of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB).

Gurov and Chobanov were nominated by the newly elected governor of the Bulgarian Natipnal Bank Dimitar Radev almost immediately after he was voted in for a second term as BNB governor. Chobanov will be taking over the banking department, and Gurov – the issue department. The 148 votes in favour of the two nominations came from GERB, We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms. Vazrazhdane and There Is Such a People voted against, the Bulgarian Socialist Party abstained.
