The Speaker of the National Assembly, Natalia Kiselova, suggested that the MECH parliamentary group could be restored, but this would require a change in the rules or a decision by the parliament. There Is Such a People (ITN) proposed to submit a draft of such a decision. "Tomorrow the draft will first be discussed in the Presidential Council. According to the procedure, Kiselova will be obliged to put the draft decision as the first item on the agenda," said Stanislav Balabanov of ITN.
MECH leader Radostin Vassilev said that if the party's parliamentary group was reinstated with all its rights (including MECH leader Radostin Vassilev as deputy speaker of Parliament), the party would not interfere in the work of Parliament. In Vassilev's words, the group was dissolved in violation of all the rules in order to attack him and silence his voice.
In addition to its demand for the resignation of Natalia Kiselova, MECH leader said that the party would not give up the protest it had announced for Wednesday morning in front of the parliament building against the "thugs in the government" and that it would support any demand for a vote of no confidence in the government.
According to the parliament's website, the MECH group existed until 20 March 2025. Speaker Natalia Kiselova announced that the group had ceased to exist after its membership fell below the required minimum of 10 MPs. It currently has nine members, following the resignation of MP Samuil Slavov. His seat was to be filled by Plamen Petkov, but he has not yet been sworn in.
