The 52nd National Assembly commenced its session with Parliament Chair Mihaela Dotsova announcing the composition and leaders of the six parliamentary groups. The political landscape was detailed as follows: Progressive Bulgaria is headed by Floor Leader Petar Vitanov, supported by Deputy Floor Leaders Galin Durev, Vladimir Nikolov, Slavi Vassilev, and Olga Borisova. GERB-UDF features Boyko Borissov as its Floor Leader, with Deputy Floor Leaders Denitsa Sacheva, Kostadin Angelov, and Roumen Hristov.
The Movement for Rights and Freedoms is led by Delyan Peevski, whose deputies include Ayten Sabri, Halil Letifov, Hamid Hamid, and Iskra Mihaylova-Koparova. Democratic Bulgaria’s leader is Nadejda Iordanova, accompanied by Deputy Floor Leaders Bozhidar Bozhanov and Katya Paneva. Nikolay Denkov leads Continue the Change, with deputies Ivaylo Shotev and Tatyana Sultanova-Siveva.
Finally, Vazrazhdane is represented by Kostadin Kostadinov as Floor Leader, supported by Peter Petrov. A significant political development occurred as Continue the Change (CC) and Democratic Bulgaria (DB) announced a decision to separate into two distinct parliamentary groups, despite having participated in the recent elections as a coalition. DB’s leadership characterized the split as a “serious political mistake.” In response, CC proposed that the parties sign an agreement to establish a joint parliamentary alliance under the slogan, “Strong Bulgaria in a Strong Europe.”
