At the first regular sitting of the 47th National Assembly, GERB-SDS demanded that the MPs vote for a mandatory Covid vaccination green certificate requirement for entry into parliament building. If the proposal is rejected, the opposition has submitted a bill demanding that the minister of health abolish the green certificate entirely for the whole territory of the country.

“It is time that parliament, and we as MPs, set a personal example and demonstrated there is no double standard,” Desislava Atanasova, chair of the GERB-SDS parliamentary group said.

Kostadin Kostadinov, chair of the smallest party represented in parliament, the nationalist Vazrazhdane, declared that a referendum must be called on the national green certificate.
