The National Network for Children has sent an open letter to the President, the Prime Minister, the National Assembly Chairperson and the general public, calling for the protection of the principles of democracy and the rule of law. The letter comes in response to the setting up of a parliamentary ad hoc committee of inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding the activities of George and Alexander Soros and their foundations in Bulgaria, the organization said.

The National Network for Children expressed deep concern over the establishment of the commission. "At the same time, further draft legislation has been submitted to Parliament, aiming to limit the participation of civil society organizations in schools," the organization said. It stressed that the creation of the ad hoc committee does not address any of the problems facing Bulgarian society. On the contrary, it is intended to create an enemy where there is a partner, the statement reads.

On November 5, acting on a motion by the MRF-New Beginning parliamentary group, Parliament voted, 111-27 with 34 abstentions, to set up the ad hoc committee of inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding the activities of George and Alexander Soros and their foundations in Bulgaria, which finance Bulgarian natural persons, legal entities, and non-governmental organizations. The committee is also to establish their links with political parties, magistrates, educational institutions, media, business structures and state authorities. The committee has three months to establish the facts since April 2025, after which it will issue a report.
