Parvanov's decision to send back to parliament the government's new privatization law is unlikely to have any critical economic fallout but it is an act fraught with political meaning.
Parvanov said his veto should not be regarded as an "unfriendly act" toward the government.

 East European Constitutional Review
Parvanov defeated incumbent Petar Stoyanov, who had been widely expected to win, on November 18 with 53 percent of the vote.
As late as 1996, Parvanov was still an outspoken opponent of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF), the political party representing Bulgarian Turks, which, ironically enough, supported Parvanov in his recent bid for the presidency.
Although Parvanov pledged continuity in the executive and despite the fact that he declared full membership in NATO and the EU priorities, the political records of his vice president, Angel Marin, and Parvanov's advisory team raise some doubts as to his stance on these issues.
