Parliament establishes ad hoc committee on immunity of three MPs

The National Assembly established a temporary committee on the immunities of three MPs - Boyko Borisov (GERB-SDS), Daniel Aleksandrov (GERB-SDS) and Kiril Petkov (We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria, PP-DB). The Commission will examine the facts and circumstances related to the Attorney General's request for waiver of the immunity of the MPs. By 18 July this year it will have to decide whether there is sufficient evidence that the three deputies have committed crimes of a general nature.

Two representatives from each parliamentary group were supposed to sit on the committee, but the BSP and There is Such a People (ITN) declined to nominate MPs. The Socialist leader said the commission was designed as a "hiding place for criminal suspects", while ITN's Toshko Yordanov called Borissov and Petkov "cowards".

The four-hour debate in the plenary failed to elect a chairman for the commission. Meanwhile, Kiril Petkov confirmed to journalists that he would waive his immunity before the committee announced its decision.
