MPs of center-right party GERB will ask President Rosen Plevneliev to summon a meeting of the Consultative Council on National Security over legal amendments stipulating the merger of the Interior Ministry's anti-mafia unit into the State Agency for National Security (DANS).
Boyko Borisov, former Prime Minster and leader of the Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB) party, presented the plans of the GERB MPs in the hallways of the Parliament building during the second-reading debate on the amendments to the State Agency for National Security Act.
During Friday's sitting, GERB MPs registered and left the plenary hall demonstratively immediately after that, sticking to the promise of Borisov that the party would boycott meetings.
"Bulgaria's national security is under threat. You can see what kinds of people are abusing the services for political goals," Borisov explained, as cited by dnevnik.bg.
He argued that the amendments were creating "a sort of Gestapo aimed at launching attacks on GERB Mayors and all the rest."
Earlier on Friday, former Interior Minister and Deputy Chair of GERB Tsvetan Tsvetanov also argued that the amendments would harm Bulgaria's national security.
Despite the opposition of GERB, Bulgaria's Parliament approved Friday on second reading the bill amending and supplementing the State Agency for National Security Act according to which the Interior Ministry's Chief Directorate for Combating Organized Crime (GDBOP) merges into the structure of DANS.
