The political situation over the past three months has been especially dynamic and packed with events, which exacerbated the public opinion in the country. The specific occasion setting most of these events in motion were the controversial Amendment Bills to two Parliamentary Acts, namely the Judiciary Act and the Forests Act, tabled by the governing majority. President Rossen Plevneliev imposed his veto powers on the text from the amended Judiciary Act envisaging that the members of the Supreme Judicial Council(SJC) shall be granted so-called career bonuses after the ex­piration of their respective terms of office. The President declared his stance in favor of public, widely discussed, and transparent nominations for the members of the future SJC. President Plevneliev imposed his veto powers on the amendments to the Forests Act as well. The leadership of the GERB Party declared that by the end of its current term of office its priority would be the elaboration of the Bulgaria-2020 Agenda. The governing party announced that the emphasis would be laid on establishing job creation mechanisms in support of small- and medium­size enterprises(SMEs). This is one of the sectors in the economy, in con­nection with which the government has been criticized by its political op­ponents more often than not. On May 15th, the National Council of the UDF turned down the motion tabled by the party leader, Martin Dimitrov, for renewing the coalition agree­ment and running elections jointly with DSB and this act actually put an end to the existence of the Blue Coalition. Nadejda Neinksy, an incumbent MEP, said that the outcome of the vote held by the UDF NC was disappointing and proved to be a pitiful attempt to replace the traditional Right Wing. The victory of Sergei Stanishev at the BSP Congress showed that the party stood behind him and that it will be running next year’s general election united. Georgi Parvanov lapsed into isolation and is hardly likely to regain his previous positions within the BSP. Stanishev managed to impose the election of loyal people close to him to the new political leadership of the party.
