46th Bulgarian parliament has gone down in history

The 46th National Assembly is already part of Bulgaria's political history. The National Assembly Speaker Iva Miteva closed its last session with a wish for a successful election campaign, and lawmakers exhausted their agenda by discussing a report on police violence and wiretapping of protesters last summer. 

After two months of work and nearly 30 sittings, the parliament has failed in its main task of running a regular government. The MPs completed only four bills - on the updating of the state budget, the National Health Insurance Fund and the Social Security, as well as the removal of the Protection Bureau from the Prosecutor General and its transfer to the Ministry of Justice. 
The forces of the so-called protest parties again failed to close the special court and prosecutor's office, which the deputies voted for symbolically at first reading today.
