Parliament approved resignations of Liliyana Pavlova and Volen Siderov as MPs

Bulgaria’s Parliament on October 30 voted to approve the resignations of Liliyana Pavlova and Volen Siderov as MPs.

Pavlova submitted her resignation because the Cabinet nominated her to become a vice-president of the European Investment Bank.

Pavlova is a former Regional Development Minister. She was Minister in charge of Bulgaria’s Presidency of the Council of the EU from May 2017 until December 2018.

Volen Siderov, leader of the nationalist Ataka party, submitted his resignation as an MP while standing as candidate mayor of Sofia in the 2019 local elections. He won 1.44% of the votes and was eliminated at the first round on October 27.
