Bulgaria's Parliament has failed for a third time to convene an extraordinary session to address critical issues, including the 'Petrich Escobar' case and pardons for drug dealers. This repeated inability to gather sufficient deputies underscores ongoing legislative gridlock and a lack of consensus among political factions.
In other key domestic developments, business figure Boyan Bozhkov has filed a lawsuit against the prosecution, citing statements made by former Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev and Prosecutor Siyka Mileva. Meanwhile, the Central Election Commission is reportedly overwhelmed by dozens of complaints lodged against Prime Minister Rumen Radev, who has also urged citizens not to engage in vote buying.
The individual accused in the assassination of businessman and former MEP Slavi Binev remains in custody, as the investigation into the high-profile murder continues. On an economic front, Prime Minister Radev announced that electricity and heating prices will remain unchanged until July 1, 2027. Additionally, the country's defense ministers are meeting with counterparts from Turkey and Romania in Sofia to discuss Black Sea security.
