The amendments to the Constitution were published in today's issue of the "State Gazette", so the amendments are already in force, BGNES reported.
During the voting on December 20, the people's representatives voted by name, standing up and declaring their vote. Deputies from GERB-SDS, PP-DB, and MRF voted "for", and the opposition in the form of "Vazrazhdane", BSP and ITN hunger strike "against". Only PP-DB MP Boyko Rashkov voted "abstain".
Thus, with the votes of GERB-SDS, PP-DB, and MRF, or 165 deputies, the changes finally became part of the basic law.
Until recently, the chairman of the PG of the DPS, Mustafa Karadayi, the MP from PP-DB Petya Stavreva, and the MP from BSP Dragomir Stoynev were absent during the voting.
With the introduced amendments, the rights of the president in the appointment of an official cabinet are limited, persons with dual citizenship are given the right to hold public positions, the SJC is divided into two collegiums - the Supreme Prosecution Council and the Supreme Judicial Council, as well as the powers of the Prosecutor General are limited. In addition, according to the texts, three months after the promulgation of the changes, a new election is held for the chief prosecutor, as well as for a new composition of the High Prosecutorial Council and the High Judicial Council. /BGNES
