Speaking from the Parliament rostrum on Thursday, MP Petar Vitanov addressed colleagues from Progressive Bulgaria, cautioning that the initial period of political excitement would soon conclude. Vitanov warned that the party would face significant governance responsibilities within a matter of few days. He stated that the political landscape in Bulgaria would present challenges, specifically mentioning the need to confront what he termed a “captured state.”
Earlier that day, the most senior MP present, Rumen Milanov of Progressive Bulgaria, presided over the inaugural session of the 52nd National Assembly, administering the oaths to 240 lawmakers.
Looking ahead, Vitanov outlined several immediate legislative priorities. He emphasized that the government must successfully pass the national budget and resolve outstanding issues concerning the treasury. Furthermore, controlling public speculation was identified as a crucial task for the incoming administration.
Beyond budgetary matters, Vitanov highlighted the election of a new Supreme Judicial Council and the appointment of a new prosecutor general as major objectives for Progressive Bulgaria. He noted that achieving these goals requires a qualified majority. While he asserted that Progressive Bulgaria plays a vital role in this process, he also stressed that securing these institutional changes would necessitate the cooperation and support of other political parties.
The transition period, Vitanov concluded, would demand immediate and focused action from all stakeholders in Bulgaria.
