During her address at the inaugural sitting of the 52nd National Assembly, Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) MP Nadejda Iordanova stated that while her parliamentary group respects the vote of the Bulgarian people and will operate as the opposition, they will not remain passive observers. Iordanova noted that the nation is emerging from a protracted political crisis, emphasizing that the populace demands concrete evidence that politics can serve citizens rather than itself. Addressing the newly formed majority, Iordanova acknowledged the mandate given to Progressive Bulgaria but stressed that the primary task remains dismantling the previous political model.
She asserted that the opposition’s stance is firm: they will support measures that strengthen the rule of law, modernize the state, and uphold Bulgaria’s European trajectory. She warned that support will not be given to any policy that replaces the fight against corruption with a new system of dependencies. For Iordanova, the paramount priority is justice and anti-corruption efforts, which must be actionable, not merely slogans.
Specific demands include amending the Judiciary Act and reforming the Supreme Judicial Council to eliminate political appointments, ensuring it is composed of independent professionals. Furthermore, she called for an audit of assets held by top judicial officials, increased transparency in EU fund spending, and a resolution to the ongoing road infrastructure disputes. Iordanova concluded by framing the debate as a commitment to a strong Bulgaria within a strong Europe.
She emphasized that the state must prioritize its people through functioning public systems, accessible healthcare, and modern education, stating that this commitment is essential for the nation’s future.
