Statement of Center Amalipe Center on the proposed amendments of the Law on Non-Profit Legal Entities

Amalipe Center expresses its strong concern about the Amendments to the Law on Non-Profit Legal Entities, submitted on 01.07.2020, with signature № 054-01-60, which we consider to be unconstitutional, contrary to the EU legislation, democratic principles and that it contains discriminatory provisions. The adoption of the bill by the National Assembly would have an entirely unfavorable result on the civil society in Bulgaria. Moreover, it provides a legal opportunity to make civil society dependent and to create a legal opportunity for political repression upon inconvenient and critical organizations.
We call on the MPs to categorically reject the proposed Bill, thus confirming that Bulgaria is a democratic country whose laws are not used to limit civil rights and political repression.
