The idea of lawmakers from the ruling Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, to ban the large retail chains in the country from working on weekend days in order to boost smaller stores has become a laughing stock on Twitter.
There is even a new social network hashtag - #БСПидеи (BSPideas), publishing scores of new proposals created in the lively debate.
The site OFFNews has gathered these comments, ridiculing the idea. Here are some of them, among many:

Let's have the Parliament work only on weekends – this might turn their proposals smarter.
Let's have the police cordon the "wrong" stores and use machineguns to direct the population to the "right" ones, owned by the "right" people.
Let's include the shopping malls in the new legislation and ban them from opening on weekends and around major holidays.
Let's ban visiting the beach on weekends to boost swimming pools and reduce road congestion.
