"We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" have submitted to the National Assembly a draft decision for creation of a temporary commission to investigate the illegal use of force by the Ministry of Interior against protesting citizens on November 16 of this year, the Parliament's website reads.

The body must establish the facts and circumstances that led to the escalation of tension and clashes between the authorities of the Ministry of Interior and protesters against the management of the Bulgarian Football Union.

Readiness to support the creation of the commission was expressed by BSP, which also joined the demand for the resignation of Interior Minister Kalin Stoyanov. DPS is against establishing such a commission.
