The GERB-SDS parliamentary group have filed a no-confidence motion in parliament against the cabinet of Prime Minister Kiril Petkov. The reason of the opposition is "government's failure in financial and economic policy". The request was signed by all 59 MPs in the group.


We also propose changes to the Election Code to allow voting with paper ballots in early elections, chair of the group Desislava Atanasova said.


"We Continue the Change" are just passers-by in power, MRF chair Mustafa Karadayi said. The parties in opposition do not support the budget and those in power, he added.


The MRF and Vazrazhdane party announced that they will support the motion of no confidence in the government, submitted by GERB-UDF. "If the no-confidence vote passes, it will be a precedent, as no-confidence vote has never before been passed in Bulgarian parliament," sociologist Svetlin Tachev told BNR.
