Extraordinary parliamentary session fails due to lack of quorum
Published
The extraordinary session of the National Assembly, which was scheduled to take place today, has been cancelled. The reason for this is the lack of the required number of deputies in the plenary hall, known as a lack of quorum.
The main topic of the scheduled session was the discussion of a case involving the pardon of a person convicted of drug trafficking. The deputies were supposed to clarify the circumstances surrounding the case and discuss the actions of the institutions.
Representatives of the political groups expressed different positions regarding the failure of the session. Temenuzhka Petkova from the GERB-UDF parliamentary group described the situation as an important issue that requires the attention of the people's representatives.
Despite attempts to gather a quorum, not enough deputies registered in the hall to begin official work. This led to the termination of the session at its very beginning.
It remains to be seen whether the topic will be included in the agenda of the parliament's next regular sessions. Citizens are awaiting more clarity on the pardon case, which has sparked widespread public interest.
