There is no agreement among the parliamentary groups on whether the National Assembly should work throughout the month of August or go on vacation. This became clear after the council on Thursday. Only "There is Such a People" (ITN) and "BSP for Bulgaria" insisted that the parliament should not go on vacation in August, the chairman of the ITN parliamentary group, Toshko Yordanov, said.

"This parliament has not produced anything for a month and a half already...We are using it for declarations, for insults, for division, not for something constructive. If there is something urgent, let's do it, but imitating work for a month and a half to use free media advertising and time seems wrong to me," the leader of GERB, Boyko Borissov, replied.
