Speaker of the Bulgarian Parliament Tsetska Tsacheva presented deep apologies to fellow Bulgarians over the saga around the scandalous amendment to the drugs law that was published this spring in the state Official Gazette without having been voted in plenary.
Speaking at Thursday's plenary, when the National Assembly adopted a report recommending the referral of the case to the prosecutor, Tsacheva said that what happened is a “stain” on her and the Parliament's reputation.
Tsacheva expressed especial regret at the fact that while chairing the fatal plenary sitting she did not pay enough attention to what was being read out from the tribune.
The Parliament chair supported the report of the ad hoc committee on the case and underscored that all blame and guilt must be personal and not collective.
Notwithstanding, Tsacheva specified that her apologies do not apply to representatives of opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party.
