The plenary debate on the third motion of no confidence against Rosen Zhelyazkov's government, proposed by the Revival party, has concluded. According to the National Assembly's rules, the vote must take place at least 24 hours after the debates end. It will be held on Friday 4 July. The motion cited the government's failures in fiscal policy and eurozone accession.
