The 52nd National Assembly has established its composition through six distinct parliamentary groups, following the announcement of their respective leaders by Parliament Chair Mihaela Dotsova during the inaugural session on Thursday. The established groups and their designated floor leaders include: Progressive Bulgaria, with Petar Vitanov as the floor leader, supported by deputy leaders such as Galin Durev, Vladimir Nikolov, Slavi Vassilev, and Olga Borisova. GERB-UDF is represented by Boyko Borissov as its floor leader, alongside deputy leaders Denitsa Sacheva, Kostadin Angelov, and Roumen Hristov.
The Movement for Rights and Freedoms is headed by Delyan Peevski, whose deputy leaders include Ayten Sabri, Halil Letifov, Hamid Hamid, and Iskra Mihaylova-Koparova. Democratic Bulgaria’s floor leader is Nadejda Iordanova, supported by deputy leaders Bozhidar Bozhanov and Katya Paneva. The Continue the Change group names Nikolay Denkov as its floor leader, with deputy leaders Ivaylo Shotev and Tatyana Sultanova-Siveva.
Finally, Vazrazhdane has Kostadin Kostadinov as its floor leader, with Peter Petrov serving as the deputy leader. Notably, Continue the Change and Democratic Bulgaria, which campaigned together during the recent elections, opted to form separate parliamentary groups as of Wednesday. While DB’s leader characterized the split as a “serious political mistake,” CC proposed an agreement for a joint parliamentary alliance under the banner of “Strong Bulgaria in a Strong Europe.”
