По някои въпроси на парламентарния имунитет
On certain matters of parliamentary immunity

Summary/Abstract: The immunity of the Members of Parliament (MPs) representatives serves the parliament as an institution and its members individually, without which they could not perform their functions. Its historical destiny outlines it as one of the most important legal institutes, which ensures free discussion, the expression of opinion by MPs, their participation in debates, verbal confrontations and provocations are an integral part of the parliamentary environment. This legal institute is constitutionally established in the basic law of a number of European countries, including in the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria. In our country, MPs are not criminally liable for the opinions they express and for their votes in the National Assembly (Article 69 of the Constitution). In addition to being criminally irresponsible, they are also inviolable during their term of office, as they cannot be detained and no criminal prosecution can be initiated against them (art. 70, para 1 of the Constitution). This article focuses on certain issues related to the application of the concept of parliamentary immunity.
