« More hostages won’t give »: Revival MPs won’t give up their immunity
Doubts about the rapprochement of « Revival » and « continue the change »
At the beginning of the plenary session, Parliament President Natalia Kiselova announced that Nikolay Denkov from « Continuing the Change » had proposed an additional item on the agenda – the creation of a temporary committee to look at all the evidence collected for which the removal of immunity is requested. From Kiselova’s words, it became clear that the request was received minutes before the start of yesterday’s plenary meeting (According to the Rules, this is done until 6 pm every Tuesday – note.). Lena Borislavova defended the idea and stated that this is how the long -standing parliamentary tradition is being restored, thanks to which everyone would have the opportunity to get acquainted with what the six MPs have done. She suggested that an extraordinary presidential council be convened, after which the idea of voting. From the proposals of I.F. Prosecutor General Borislav Sarafov to download immunity is understood that:

- Mario Rangelov (MRF -DPS) – buying votes and trading in influence;
- Ivaylo Chorbov (« Renaissance ») – arson of The building of the European Commission Representation in Bulgaria and the destruction of police uniforms;
- Slavcho Krumov (« Renaissance ») – arson and throwing a cocktail « Molotov » at the building of the representation of the European Commission in Bulgaria;
- Jordan Todorov (« Revival ») – showed his card as a Member of Parliament, pushed and offended the employees of the Ministry of Interior, who had overcome the enclosure;
- Nikola Dimitrov (« Renaissance ») – pushed and hit police officers;
The proposal of « continuing the change » for a temporary committee, which is yet to consider the requested immunity, did not appeal to Yavor Bozhankov, who from the podium stated that there was no point in such a committee and the parliament could not deal with MPs for months.
It would be an exceptional mistake to start with a committee now and to put an umbrella over these MPs for a few months.
