New Acting Prosecutor General Seeks MP's Immunity

Bulgaria's new acting Prosecutor General, Vanya Stefanova, has initiated her tenure by seeking the parliamentary immunity of an MP from the "Vazrazhdane" party. The announcement was made by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Michaela Dyakova, during the opening of the day's plenary session.

The request targets Angel Georgiev, a member of the "Vazrazhdane" parliamentary group. While the specific grounds for seeking his immunity were not immediately disclosed in the parliamentary session, such requests typically stem from ongoing investigations or criminal proceedings that require parliamentary approval to proceed against a sitting lawmaker.

"Vazrazhdane" is known for its nationalist stance and has often been critical of the current government and its policies. The party has also been a vocal opposition force in the Bulgarian parliament. The move by the acting Prosecutor General is likely to draw significant attention and political debate within the National Assembly.
