During her address at the inaugural session of the 52nd National Assembly, Democratic Bulgaria MP Nadejda Iordanova stated that while her group respects the electorate’s vote and accepts the role of opposition, they will remain actively engaged. Iordanova noted that the assembly convenes during a period when Bulgarian society seeks resolution to a prolonged political crisis, asserting that the public desires tangible evidence that politics can serve its citizens, rather than itself. Addressing the majority mandate, Iordanova emphasized that the mandate given to Progressive Bulgaria carries a primary responsibility: dismantling the previous political model.
She declared that the opposition will consistently advocate for the rule of law, demanding an end to a state perceived as operating under impunity or serving vested interests. Iordanova outlined the opposition’s conditional support, stating they will back measures that strengthen the rule of law, modernize the state, and uphold Bulgaria’s European trajectory. She stressed that the foremost priority must be combating corruption through daily parliamentary action, not merely as a slogan.
Specific policy demands 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, Iordanova called for asset audits of top judicial officials, transparency in public procurement and EU fund spending, and resolving the issue of infrastructure development. Ultimately, she asserted that Bulgaria’s goal is to be a strong nation within a strong European Union, ensuring functioning public systems, accessible healthcare, and modern education for the people.

The opposition’s commitment to active engagement, rather than remaining passive, is a key point to monitor.
