The coalition "We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria", the "Alliance for Rights and Freedoms", and the MECH party will submit to parliament the fifth motion of no confidence against the government of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov. The topic is "Justice and Internal Order", announced Atanas Atanasov, leader of "Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria".

"We have the will of the MPs. We just need to collect the signatures within a few hours. After that, we'll see who supports whom in the plenary hall", said Atanas Atanasov.

The other two opposition parliamentary groups – "Vazrazhdane" and "Velichie" – which did not take part in drafting the motion’s reasoning, have said that they will support the vote of no confidence. The previous four attempts to bring down the government were unsuccessful.
