Exactly a month after the parliamentary elections on October 27, the first session of the 51st National Assembly, which started on November 11, continues today. MPs will make a sixth attempt to elect a speaker.

During the fifth attempt, four candidates were put to the vote - Natalia Kiselova from "BSP-United Left", Petar Petrov from "Vazrazhdane", Raya Nazaryan from GERB and Silvi Kirilov from ITN. Silvi Kirilov from ITN and Raya Nazaryan - GERB-SDS went to the runoff, but neither of them received a sufficient number of votes. That is how the work of the parliament remains currently blocked.
