Andon Baltakov is also demanding the resignation of Minister of Culture Boil Banov for substituting the text from the radio and television draft bill which has already been approved by the BNR.

In its position the Ministry of Culture states that the bill has been posted to the ministry’s website in full, and that proposals can be made by all interested parties, including the Bulgarian National Radio, until 18 November. 

During a debate in parliament today, MPs from the Bulgarian Socialist Party and independent MPs demanded the resignation of Culture Minister Boil Banov over the planned amendments to the Radio and Television Act.
