The opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, demanded from the Parliament to declare Prime Minister Boyko Borisov's statement that Members of the Parliament are "loafers" inacceptable.

On Wednesday, the PM, who arrived in plenary hall at the very end of the cabinet's no-confidence vote debates, explained his lateness by saying: "I have work to do. I am not a loafer like them."

In the beginning of the Thursday session the BSP MP, Angel Naydenov, said such words are rude, untrue and unfair; they are unprecedented and humiliating for all MPs and for the Parliament as an institution.

"In the conditions of a normal parliamentary democracy similar statements would be strongly condemned," Angelov said, appealing to all parliamentary groups and to the Speaker, Tsetska Tsacheva, to react to the insult.

Tsacheva replied the Parliamentary Code does not give her the authority to undertake such actions and this is a matter of the work of parliamentary groups.
