Addressing the 52nd National Assembly’s inaugural sitting on Thursday, Ayten Sabri, an MP for the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), stated that her party intends to serve as a constructive and responsible opposition. Sabri affirmed that the MRF will support policies that uphold the rights and freedoms of the Bulgarian citizenry and advance the national interest. Concurrently, she indicated the party will act as a principled corrective force when governance deviates from principles of transparency, legality, democracy, or human rights.
In response to the current domestic and international environment, Sabri outlined the MRF’s vision for Bulgaria, emphasizing the need for clear and sustainable policy. Key priorities cited include enhancing the quality of life and standard of living, achieving economic stability and growth, modernizing both the economy and agricultural sector, ensuring food safety, mitigating social and regional disparities, and supporting young families. Furthermore, the party committed to advancing Bulgaria’s European integration, maintaining strong partnerships with the US and the Euro-Atlantic community, while preserving national values.
Sabri emphasized that the MRF’s actions will be guided by the principle of liberty, justice, and equality for every citizen. She urged the assembly to move beyond confrontation, asserting that democracy is a continuous process founded on the rule of law and institutional responsibility. The MP concluded by appealing for political maturity, encouraging the Parliament to build consensus on key national issues rather than deepening divisions, thereby respecting the mandate given by the voters.
