The National Assembly is to vote the motion of no confidence in the cabinet of Rosen Zhelyazkov today.

The motion, over “failure of foreign policy”, was submitted by Vazrazhdane party with the support of MPs from Velichie and MECH, even though they themselves do not expect it to pass. During yesterday’s debates, the MPs from We Continue the Change/Democratic Bulgaria (PP/DB) walked out of plenary. “A group of pro-Russian parties are wasting plenary time with a vote of no confidence to the detriment of the national interest. What we are seeing is a badly staged circus, with a stage set that puts Bulgaria in the position of a province of Putin’s Russia,” said the co-chair of the PP/DB parliamentary group Nadezhda Yordanova. We Continue the Change co-chair Assen Vassilev stated they would not support a vote of no confidence that will divert Bulgaria from its Euro-Atlantic road, but that “the moment Bulgaria is given a Eurozone accession date”, We Continue the Change will submit a motion of no confidence.
