Opposition parties in Bulgaria’s Parliament launched a sign-up list for the impeachment of President Georgi Purvanov.

Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria MP Neno Dimov initiated the list, mediapool.bg said.

Bulgaria’s constitution envisions two possibilities of impeachment of the president, in the case of high treason or in the case of a violation of the constitution .

According to the opposition, Purvanov committed both, as it was proved that he had co-operated with the communist-era secret services.

The president committed high treason, discrediting Bulgaria before its allies in Nato and the EU and before the world, opposition members said. He made the country look like an unreliable partner and even an instrument of foreign interest.

The opposition also claimed that Purvanov violated the constitution by breaking the oath to obey the law and to be led by the people’s interests in all his actions. The president hid his collaboration with the former secret services in his own interest.

The second constitution violation was that the president failed to serve the whole nation, and on the contrary, separated it.
