During her address at the inaugural session of the 52nd National Assembly, Democratic Bulgaria MP Nadejda Iordanova stated that while her parliamentary group respects the vote of the Bulgarian people and accepts its role in the opposition, they will remain actively engaged. Iordanova noted that the nation is entering the Assembly amid a prolonged political crisis, emphasizing that the public requires concrete evidence that politics can serve citizens rather than itself. She acknowledged that the Progressive Bulgaria group secured a majority, framing this as a mandate rooted in public demand for structural change away from previous governing models.
According to Iordanova, the opposition’s stance will consistently defend the rule of law. She stated that their support is contingent on measures that modernize the state and uphold Bulgaria’s European trajectory. Iordanova outlined specific policy priorities, asserting that the primary focus must be justice and anti-corruption efforts, implemented through daily parliamentary work.
Key proposals include introducing amendments to the Judiciary Act and working to elect a Supreme Judicial Council based on professional integrity, ending political influence over appointments. Furthermore, she called for an audit of high judicial officials’ assets, full transparency in EU fund spending and public procurement, and a resolution to outstanding infrastructure issues. For Iordanova, the ultimate goal is establishing a state that functions effectively for its people.
She concluded by asserting that Bulgaria’s place is within a strong European Union, advocating for a system that provides accessible healthcare and modern education, thereby ensuring the nation’s stability in an uncertain global environment.
