191 MPs skip October sessions without excuse

In October, 191 members of Bulgaria's National Assembly accumulated unjustified absences from plenary sessions. The GERB-SDF parliamentary group recorded the highest number, with all 66 of its members marked absent.

Individual absence records showed one deputy with five absences, while two others each had three. A significant majority of legislators, totaling 121, were absent twice without justification, and 67 members had a single unexcused absence. The parliamentary groups of Vazrazhdane and DPS-New Beginning followed with 30 and 29 absent members, respectively.

These absences largely occurred on specific dates when the parliament failed to achieve a quorum for its work. According to assembly rules, members must attend sessions and can face salary deductions for any unexcused absences.
