Parliament rejected the draft resolution for the establishment of an ad hoc committee to establish facts and circumstances regarding the activities of George and Alexander Soros, and their foundations in Bulgaria, which finance Bulgarian individuals, legal entities, and NGOs, and to establish their connections with political parties, magistrates, educational institutions, media, business structures, and state authorities.

The establishment of the committee was rejected after a re-vote, with 62 votes in favor, 74 against, and 43 abstentions.

The draft resolution was supported by MPs from MRF-New Beginning, five from BSP-United Left, one from GERB-UDF, 16 from There Is Such a People (TISP), and 11 from Morality, Unity, Honor (MECh).

The MPs from Vazrazhdane did not participate in the vote.

The draft resolution was introduced by the parliamentary group of MRF-New Beginning.

The re-vote was requested by Toshko Yordanov from TISP, who during the debate stated that they would support the creation of the committee.

During the re-vote procedure, Yordanov pointed out that Vazrazhdane’s Parliamentary Group, who claim in front of their supporters to be against foundations like America for Bulgaria, were absent from the hall.
