"There is such a people" MP Kiril Simeonov announced from the parliamentary rostrum that he is leaving the party.

He was greeted with applause by some MPs.

In a speech from the rostrum of the National Assembly, he said that when he entered politics, Slavi Trifonov asked him what he wanted to change.

He replied that he wanted to fight the status quo.

"Well, yesterday we voted with the same status quo," Simeonov said.

His speech is on the occasion of yesterday's removal of Nikola Minchev from the presidency with the votes of GERB-UDF, ITN, MRF and "Vazrazhdane".
