site.btaMPs Vote to Re-establish MECh Parliamentary Group

The legislature Wednesday voted to reinstate the parliamentary group of MECh. The motion for that was submitted by the MPs of There Is Such a People and was the first item on Parliament's agenda. The vote was  170-1 with 2 abstentions.

The MECh group was disbanded on March 21 when the number of its MPs dropped below the required 10. 

Earlier on Wednesday, two new MPs of MECh were sworn in. One is Ivan Ivanov (running in the Lovech constituency) and the other Plamen Petkov (of the Montana constituency).

Before Parliament started work on Wednesday, MECh supporters rallied outside to demand the group's reinstatement.
