A scandal broke out in the parliament because of the amendments to the Electoral Code, which were voted on in the relevant committee after an 18-hour meeting and today entered for discussion in the plenary hall.

According to one of the changes adopted with the votes of GERB-SDS, BSP and DPS, the paper ballot is returned to all sections as a voting option.

Deputies from "We continue the change" occupied the parliamentary rostrum while the chairman of the legal committee, Radomir Cholakov from GERB, began to read the report on the draft law to change the Electoral Code, insisting

 that the presiding parliament member from the DPS, Yordan Tsonev, did not follow the procedure.

You started item 2 and gave the floor to Mr. Cholakov in absolute violation of the rules.

The point should start after the procedural proposals have been exhausted, said Miroslav Ivanov from the PP.

To the repeated insistences by PP deputies that the rules were violated, Tsonev replied that the rules were not violated.

After violent reactions to the disagreement on the part of Nastimir Ananiev from the PP, Yordan Tsonev announced that he was removing him from the plenary hall for one sitting.

A plenary hall heated up because of the changes in the IC

This provoked the co-chairman of the PP Kiril Petkov to turn to the presiding parliament with the words: "Remove me too. You are breaking the rules."

Will you teach me?

I follow the rules.

I announced that we are starting the reading of the report, Tsonev said in response.

Do you seriously think that in this way you will disgrace the work of the National Assembly, he added.

The title has been read, I announce debates, said Yordan Tsonev.

However, discussions did not begin, and the commotion continued.
