Scheduling a date for parliamentary elections is the duty of the president. However, it would be good if you consult with specialists before issuing the decree. This opinion was expressed to “Flagman” by the leader of the NFSB party and vice president of the National Assembly, Valeri Simeonov.
Today (December 7) Radev announced that he will schedule the parliamentary elections for March 28. Later, the leader of “Will” Veselin Mareshki, who is also deputy speaker of parliament, announced: “The powers of the 44th National Assembly end on March 26 next year. According to art. 64 of the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria , the new elections for the National Assembly will be held no later than two months after the termination of the powers of the previous one. Then there are many options for the dates. According to us of “Will”, the best thing is that the vote is the 23 of May “. Mareshki argues with the warm weather of May and the likelihood that the COVID pandemic is over then.
Recently, former head of state Rosen Plevneliev explained that he had always coordinated his decisions to schedule elections with the political forces.
“No, my opinion is different,” Valeri Simeonov commented. “This is about the COVID pandemic. Unfortunately, no one can say how it will unfold. In my opinion, before making a decision, the president should consult with the National Operations Headquarters and specialists in mathematical models.” There was also a consultation with an international team, because this is a serious issue. This is a choice. This is not a schedule for the spring fair or the Fandakova Christmas bazaar. “
According to Simeonov, the president should also consult with some of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic.
When asked if he would advise Radev not to rush with his decree on the date of the elections, the NFSB leader replied: “Of course I do. It makes no sense before serious consultations are held and before they are held. predict the development of the pandemic on the basis of accumulated data for Bulgaria and on the basis of international experience. “
“Otherwise, he seems arrogant, like most of his actions. I will hardly listen, because he is a confident person,” concluded Valeri Simeonov for the president.
