DB: We will not provide comfortable silence for the ruling party

"We will be a constructive opposition, but we will not remain silent and provide comfortable silence for the ruling party. We will carefully monitor every step, every action, every proposal and we will criticize when we see moments of concern. We will propose solutions and conduct a constructive dialogue", Nadezhda Yordanova, chairwoman of the opposition Democratic Bulgaria parliamentary group in the 52nd National Assembly, told the Bulgarian National Radio.

She criticized the new Minister of Justice Nikolay Naydenov for the lack of public positions on important issues for the system. Yesterday, Progressive Bulgaria introduced changes to the Judiciary Act related to the upcoming election of a new Supreme Judicial Council. Democratic Bulgaria stated that they would support these changes at first reading as a sign of constructive parliamentary dialogue, but also that there were shortcomings in the changes.
