The rightist Union of Democratic Forces, which is part of the Blue Coalition, is going to support a motion for the impeachment of Socialist President Georgi Parvanov if the other parties initiate it.

The rightists, however, think that the grounds for the impeachment of Parvanov are not going to hold in the Constitutional Court.

This was announced Tuesday by the UDF Chair Martin Dimitrov after a meeting of the National Council of the party.

On Monday, the rightist party Democrats for Strong Bulgaria of Ivan Kostov demanded that Parvanov be impeached if evidence was found that he was involved in violations by Bulgarian companies in the UN Oil for Food program for Iraq in the late 1990s.

At the same time, the nationalist Ataka party has demanded that Parvanov be impeached over failing to inform the Parliament of all of his actions, as stipulated by Article 14 of the Constitution.
