Deputies accepted the early release of Rosen Zhelyazkov as Speaker of the 49th National Assembly. 129 people’s representatives voted “for” and 103 were against. There were no abstentions. On Wednesday, a draft decision for the early release of Zhelyazkov, submitted and signed by deputies from PP-DB and BSP, was submitted to the parliament. Cases of violation of the parliamentary rules were cited as arguments, including the introduction of an extraordinary point for the release of the head of the NHIF, although he refused the submitted resignation, as well as the reluctance of the Zhelyazkov National Assembly to honor the victims of the Armenian Genocide with a moment of silence.
Before the vote, Rosen Zhelyazkov said goodbye to his colleagues with an extremely emotional speech, refusing to broadcast it directly on BNT and BNR, as suggested by Yordan Tsonev from DPS.
“There is a thought of a great aphorist who says that sometimes you have to be silent in order to be heard. All of us in this hall are people. But people who are sent by other people to work for people. As people we have our weaknesses and passions. But as people’s representatives, we must have responsibility, accountability and integrity. And another quality that we sometimes lose – humanity. Because these people who are among us expect solutions for their future and families,” said Zhelyazkov to the applause of some of the deputies.
