–DB MP Iordanova: We Respect People’s Vote, Will Take Rightful Place as Opposition, But Not Mere Bystanders

At the inaugural sitting of the 52nd National Assembly, Nadejda Iordanova, a member of the Democratic Bulgaria parliamentary group, addressed the chamber, stating that while they accept their role as opposition, they will remain actively engaged. Iordanova emphasized that the public desires a resolution to a prolonged political crisis, demanding tangible evidence that politics can serve the citizenry rather than itself. She acknowledged the mandate secured by the leading political force but stressed that the paramount task remains dismantling previous governance models.

Iordanova asserted that the opposition’s commitment is to defending the rule of law and modernizing the state while preserving Bulgaria’s European alignment. She clarified that their support is contingent upon measures that strengthen legal frameworks, opposing any policy that risks creating new dependencies or replacing efforts against corruption. For Iordanova, the primary focus must be on justice and anti-corruption efforts, which she described as requiring daily parliamentary action.

Specific proposals include introducing amendments to the Judiciary Act and reforming the Supreme Judicial Council to ensure appointments are based on professionalism and integrity. Furthermore, she called for audits of the assets of top judicial officials, full transparency in EU fund spending, and a resolution to the ongoing road infrastructure issues. Ultimately, Iordanova concluded that Bulgaria’s future lies within a strong European Union.

She stated that the goal is a state equipped with functional public systems, accessible healthcare, and modern education, serving the needs of the people, and not merely adhering to political slogans.
