Bulgaria's new Parliament will make a new attempt to cope with the job-skipping problem by adopting changes to the regulations on the MPs work.
Bulgaria's MPs are notorious for their proclivity to vote on behalf of colleagues, who have decided to go after their private business instead of working in the plenary hall.
The proposed amendments envisage that a daily check is done to ensure the presence of all the MPs and a list of those playing truant is pasted on the wall next to the parliament's entrance and posted online at parliament.bg.
The parliamentary leadership plans to invite in days a public procurement tender for an admission regime system, which will register the entrance into the building of each MP.
The proposed changes come just days after the new parliament held its first session with the centre-right GERB party making up 116 MPs in the 240-seat unicameral national assembly.
