Sofia, October 28 (BTA) - Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) MP
Mihail Hristov is leaving the BSP parliamentary group to become
an independent MP. Hristov's decision was announced Wednesday by
National Assembly Chairperson Tsveta Karayancheva.
As reasons for his decision Hristov, who is an MP elected in
BSP's citizens' quota, gives fundamental differences with the
BSP and disagreement with the manner of work of the
parliamentary group.
Hristov becomes the eighth Socialist MP to quit the BSP
parliamentary group in the past month. Six MPs left the group in
late September and another one quit last week.
The latest defection will leave the BSP with 70 MPs in the
240-seat legislature. RY/ZH
