European Parliament Commission Rejects Request to Lift Nikola Minchev's Immunity

A commission in the European Parliament has reportedly rejected a request to strip Nikola Minchev of his parliamentary immunity. The decision, which also affects two other Members of the European Parliament, is reportedly linked to a case involving Belgian authorities and alleged lobbying activities.

Bulgarian National Television (BNT), citing its sources, reported the commission's decision. The specifics of the Belgian authorities' case and the nature of the alleged lobbying activities remain unclear from the provided information. However, the rejection of the immunity waiver suggests the commission found insufficient grounds to proceed with the request.

Nikola Minchev, a Bulgarian politician, serves as a Member of the European Parliament. The details surrounding the request for his immunity removal and the subsequent rejection by the parliamentary committee are expected to be further clarified as more information becomes available.
