The 52nd National Assembly’s structure was outlined on Thursday when Parliament Chair Mihaela Dotsova announced the leaderships of the six parliamentary groups. These groups are led by prominent figures representing various political factions. The six groups and their respective leaderships are as follows: Progressive Bulgaria is headed by Floor Leader Petar Vitanov, with Deputy Floor Leaders including Galin Durev, Vladimir Nikolov, Slavi Vassilev, and Olga Borisova.
GERB-UDF has Boyko Borissov as its Floor Leader, supported by Deputy Floor Leaders Denitsa Sacheva, Kostadin Angelov, and Roumen Hristov. The Movement for Rights and Freedoms is represented by Floor Leader Delyan Peevski, whose deputy leaders include Ayten Sabri, Halil Letifov, Hamid Hamid, and Iskra Mihaylova-Koparova. Democratic Bulgaria’s leadership is established by Floor Leader Nadejda Iordanova, accompanied by Deputy Floor Leaders Bozhidar Bozhanov and Katya Paneva.
Continue the Change is led by Floor Leader Nikolay Denkov, with deputy leaders Ivaylo Shotev and Tatyana Sultanova-Siveva. Finally, Vazrazhdane has Kostadin Kostadinov as its Floor Leader, supported by Deputy Floor Leader Peter Petrov. It was noted that Continue the Change (CC) and Democratic Bulgaria (DB), which had campaigned together in the elections, opted to form separate parliamentary groups.
While DB’s leadership characterized this split as a “serious political mistake,” CC extended an invitation to the DB to sign an agreement establishing a joint parliamentary alliance under the banner of “Strong Bulgaria in a Strong Europe.”
