MPs from the ruling GERB party will propose the creation of two Parliament Committees to investigate the previous Bulgarian government.

The MPs started Thursday collecting signatures in order to file a bill for the creation of the committees, the Sega (Now) Daily reported.

"The first committee will investigate why at some places abroad were opened many evoting sections, and at others there were almost none. In Spain and Germany, for example, many people were not able to cast their votes", Alexander Nenkov from GERB said.

The previous government earlier explained that the voting sections were opened on request from the voters, and in some countries like Germany, no voting urns were allowed outside diplomatic missions.

If this committee is created, it will be the third authority that investigates the elections abroad. There is already a case filed in the Constitutional Court by the leader of the "Order, Law, Justice" (RZS) party, Yane Yanev.

Earlier this week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs filed a signal to the State Prosecutor's Office after it had established violations with the voting sections abroad.

The other commission will investigate the appointment of more than 20 position in seven authorities in the last minute of the last government's mandate. In this way many ex-MPs and people close to the three-way coalition were set up. However, some of them have already been released of duty.

GERB hopes to collect the required 48 signatures until the next Wednesday, when will be the first regular session of the National Assembly. The initiative is backed by the Ataka party, and the Blue Coalition.
