The second sitting of the Bulgarian Parliament for its new fall session was marked by an exchange of vivid remarks between PM Borisov and representatives of opposition Socialist Party over lack of involvement.
Just after presenting a report on the government's participation in EU decision-making for the first half of 2010, PM Boyko Borisov left plenary.
This provoked BSP Deputy-Speaker of Parliament Georgi Pirinski to call for an intercession until the PM comes back to the hall for the debate and accused him of flagrant disrespect for Parliament.
Then socialist MPs left the plenary hall. Leader of rightist Democrats for Strong Bulgaria Ivan Kostov commented that should they return, the sitting will turn into a "true vaudeville."
PM Borisov came back promptly and in his turn accused socialists of lack of involvement and unwillingness to hear the statements of fellow MPs from other parties.
"I just asked to be shown to the toilet, and then your whole socialist group slipped out of plenary to have coffee and smoke," stated the Bulgarian PM.
He further expressed discontent at BSP MP and former Minister of Labor Emiliya Maslarova over addressing him indistinctly while chewing gum.
