The president should ask the Constitutional Court about the euro referendum, Vazrazhdane leader Kostadin Kostadinov told journalists in Parliament on Thursday.

"The Constitution gives the Bulgarian president the explicit right to address the Constitutional Court to ask whether this act of Nataliya Kiselova is in line with the Constitution of the country. We believe that the President should do so in the most prompt manner," Kostadinov said.

The Vazrazhdane leader stressed that no institutional response has followed after the chair of the National Assembly Nataliya Kiselova returned as inadmissible the proposal of President Rumen Radev for a national referendum on the introduction of the single European currency.

“If his team has problems with writing such a request to the Constitutional Court, we and every lawyer in the country can help write such a request,” Kostadin Kostadinov said.

Kostadinov said that if the President does not refer the matter to the Constitutional Court, Vazrazhdane will start collecting signatures to do so.

According to him, MECh and Velichie are sabotaging the votes of no confidence in the government. "Although we announced three weeks ago that we would table such a no-confidence motion, they specifically refuse to do so. As far as we have information, they were simply ordered by Peevski," Kostadinov said.
