Parliamentary immunity belongs to the past

In his weekly column "Max's Column" for TBmagazine, Maxim Behar talks about the difficulties and changes in the Bulgarian economy and business and the only force that counts - experience.

President Biden unexpectedly proposed that any resident of the White House should not have parliamentary immunity and should be held accountable under the law just like any other American. It may sound revolutionary to the world, but if you take a moment to look around, you will see how simple and logical it all sounds in today's times. Thanks to social media, there are billions of "editors" worldwide, and they are constantly discussing politicians - whether they are working for the good of society or just talking and traveling, or if they are spending taxpayers' money accordingly or using it to serve other interests.

In short, the world has changed, and these changes bring new rules. One of them—without a doubt—is complete transparency and equal accountability under the law and society for everyone—from the president to the janitors. This way, the world will become better and incomparably more just.
