A total of seventy members of parliament from the ruling GERB party and their right-wing allies have proposed that a commission be set up to probe deals, expenses and appointments made during the last year of the ousted Socialist government term.

The news comes a week after Bulgaria's MPs approached the National Audit Office to make a check of how the previous cabinet of Socialist leader Sergey Stanishev handled its finances and property over the last year and seven months.

The movers say that the three-way coalition has inked a number of deals that hurt the public interest and breach the local legislation.

According to the proposal the commission has to conduct the probes within two months and to include two representatives from each parliamentary group.
