Effects and hypotheses
MPs from different parliamentary groups, who requested anonymity, who « Diary » sought, say that there is no way Natalia Kiselova, who is a constitutionalist, to make such a decision on her own. One option they allow is a bad advice from the partners in power aimed at leading it from the position of the first among equals. .
The second version, which is commented on in parliament, is a pressure on a solution to ensure an easier majority in parliamentary committees (only MPs from parliamentary groups are members.) Vasilev himself also does not exclude these two hypotheses and the dismissal of the parliamentary group will deprive his deputies. The seizure of his position as the deputy chairman, on the other hand, comes with a ban on access to documents from the records of the National Assembly and participation in the meetings of the Presidential Council, which discuss the agenda, penalties and other issues. The deputy expects to have a problem with the distribution of seats in the section committees in the event of a quick election, but announced that in any case he would appeal a similar act in court, if there was a case, which banned parliamentary force from having representatives in the PEC.
