site.btaBSP Legal Advisor: Acting Party Chair Has to Receive Authorization from Outgoing Chair

"The BSP statute is clear, the laws in the country as well. There is a resignation, there is a temporary representative and acting head appointed by the National Council until a direct election is held. The only action called for by the party's statute and reflecting the will of the governing body, the National Council, is for the outgoing chair, Korneliya Ninova, to authorize the acting leader, Atanas Zafirov," BSP's chief legal adviser Aglika Videnova said in a statement. Videnova has been in charge of the party's registration process for various elections for the past 21 years. Her position was made public by the BSP press centre on Thursday.
