Bulgaria’s Parliament on Wednesday elected Yulia Nenkova as head of the country’s anti-trust body, the Commission for Protection of Competition (KZK).
Nenkova, deputy mayor of Sofia in charge of rule of law, coordination and control, was elected in a 137-1 vote with 10 abstentions. Since 2010 Nenkova has also been chair of the supervisory board of the government’s Privatisation Agency.
Nenkova had been nominated to the post by centre-right GERB party, the dominant partner in the minority coalition government.
Dimitar Kyumyurdzhiev, a lawyer and a former KZK member from 1997 to 2003, was elected deputy chairman of the anti-trust regulator. He had been nominated by the Patriotic Front, an alliance of nationalist parties who support the government of GERB and right-wing Reformist Bloc but hold no ministerial seats.
Parliament also elected five KZK members nominated respectively by GERB, the Reformist Bloc as well as opposition Socialists, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and the Bulgarian Democratic Center (BDC)
