Despite the spike in Covid-19 cases and the tightening of anti-epidemic measures, the MPs in Bulgarian parliament are ostentatiously refusing to wear personal protective equipment in plenary.
The latest such instance is of 65-year old Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) MP Rosen Malinov who walked out in disagreement with the National Assembly President who insisted that he wear a face mark, BGNES reports.

The ruling coalition demanded changes in the rules of work of the National Assembly so as not to allow the spread of the infection inside parliament.
