The expert opinion on the death of the prematurely-born baby has been ready on December 18, but was concealed for three days, according to the right-wing Blue Coalition.

The information was reported Wednesday by the Coalition's co-Chair, Ivan Kostov, who said the publishing of the information, exonerating the doctors from the hospital in the central town of Gorna Oryahovitsa, was delayed on purpose with the hope it would remain largely unnoticed over the Holidays.

Kostov told the Members of the Parliament he could not accept the explanation of Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, and Health Minister, Stefan Konstantinov, they needed to read the report first and that they still did not have it.

"The Blue Coalition does not have the report either, but if we get a hold on it, scary things will happen. I think the Health Minister lied to us last night. In this country everything is a scandal, one coming on top of the other. Those in power pretend they have lost their mind, but they are afraid," the right-wing leader said, stating the doctors who did the expert report shared they were pressured during their work.

Kostov joined the opposition formations - the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), the ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and the conservative Order, Law and Justice (RZS) party in demands to call Tsvetanov in plenary hall to give explanations on the case.

The right-wing MP warned Bulgaria is turning into a country where people instead of trusting the Interior Minister, are afraid of him and tied the delay in Bulgaria's joining of the Schengen zone with the failures of the Interior Ministry and Tsvetanov.

Later Wednesday, the Speaker of the Parliament, Tsetska Tsacheva, announced the Minister will come to have a hearing with the MPs at 6 pm.

Tsvetanov told reporters he would not offer any comments before appearing in plenary hall.
