On October 25, Vazrazhdane submitted a bill for changes to the Criminal Code, referring to an increase in prison sentences - a drastic increase in the lower limits and an increase in the maximum penalties in all these cases of traffic accidents, in which there are serious consequences and death for innocent Bulgarian citizens.

This was stated by MP Petar Petrov from "Vazrazhdane" at a media briefing.

He explained that these are situations in which the use of alcohol by the driver, the use of narcotic substances and their analogues, incapacity, being placed in a condition where it was driven at an extremely high unreasonable speed, and in all these cases death was caused or severe or moderate bodily harm.

Parents of those who died in accidents: Our children cannot die on the roads, but conditional sentences should be given

"We believe that the most correct reaction of society against these acts is a drastic increase in sanctions.

Therefore, on October 25, we introduced a bill that would allow for an increase in these sanctions.

Not only that - we also offer a new sanction, which includes a temporary suspension from traffic and confiscation of the motor vehicle for 1 to 5 years, when the driver is caught after using alcohol or drugs.

Thus, the chance of him doing something like this again has decreased," he added.

Many human destinies and tragedies are behind the legal changes, he added.
