Prosecution Magistracy Checks Registration of Two Parties Chaired by Businessman-turned-politician Mareshki

Sofia, March 21 (BTA) - The Sofia City Prosecution Office is going to check the registration of the political parties Volya [Will] and the National Movement for Freedoms and Democracy, acting on an alert from Central Election Commission (CEC). In the alert CEC notes that a check should be made whether Vesselin Mareshki, a businessman-turned-politician who is running in the March 26 early parliamentary elections, meets the provisions of the Political Parties Act. The CEC says that Mareshki is entered as leader of the two parties, the first registered in 2007 in the dockets of the Sofia City Court, and the second, registered three years earlier.

The law prohibits simultaneous membership in more than one party.
