Bulgaria's right-wing Union of Democratic Forces (UDF) party has decided not to take part in the political consultations for the upcoming referendum on the fate of the Belene Nuclear Power project.
In a letter to President Rosen Plevneliev, UDF has pointed out that the referendum would be counter-constitutional, since it would be posing a question that falls outside the competence of the Parliament.
The right-wing party has urged Plevneliev to refer the matter to the Constitutional Court. UDF has also called upon the President not to back a referendum concerning a corporate project "that has uncertain economic parameters, bears environmental risks and (would bring about) long-term geopolitical dependencies."
The GERB government scrapped the Belene NPP project in March 2012, declaring it economically unfeasible. The pro-Belene BSP then launched a petition for a referendum on the Russian-Bulgarian project's fate.
The inspection of the petition recently concluded, with 543 639 valid signatures, enough to make the vote irreversible.
The referendum is expected to take place within the next three months.
On Friday, Plevneliev launched political consultations for the upcoming referendum.
