The majority intends to submit in the coming days a general bill to amend and supplement the Constitution, said at the beginning of the first meeting of the parliamentary Committee on Constitutional Affairs its chairman Radomir Cholakov from GERB-SDS.

Probably it will not be in line with the proposed by We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria changes in the basic law, it became clear from the statements of the GERB MPs.

According to Ekaterina Zaharieva, the party will not support the idea of limiting mayors' mandates and will insist on more balance in the reform of the so-called government of the judiciary and the functions of the caretaker government.

Zlatan Zlatanov of Vazrazhdane said the formation would not support the proposals of the cabinet and called the idea of May 24 becoming a national holiday "explosive." Maya Dimitrova of BSP for Bulgaria said the parliamentary group would express an opinion on the proposals once the draft law was ready. DPS, on the other hand, remained silent.

The parliamentary committee has only 9 deputies instead of 12, as There is Such a People refused to send representatives from its parliamentary group, and the BSP appointed only one.

At the start of the meeting, Cholakov handed over folders of documents on the judiciary, including the 1898 Law on the Structure of Courts, and stressed that maximum political consensus should be reached as party diktat in constitutional reform was unacceptable.
