I will make a forecast at the end of 2017 that the new anti-corruption law will not work, Bulgaria’s Vice President Iliana Iotova said in an interview for Horizont channel of the Bulgarian National Radio on Saturday. The law will be blocked in the very beginning. However, it will not be blocked by the forthcoming no-confidence vote at the National Assembly, which is in fact a normal Parliamentary procedure, but because there are some texts in this legislation which will make the institutions block each other’s functions. Unlike the good practices in Europe, the anonymity of signals is not guaranteed in the Bulgarian bill. In Vice President Iotova’s view, “the new act was adopted so that we can say: Look we have a new anti-corruption law in the beginning of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union”.
