The vote on the vote of no confidence in the Zhelyazkov cabinet will take place on Thursday, at 1:45 p.m. This was announced at the end of the debates on the vote by the chairman of the meeting, Dragomir Stoynev.
The vote was submitted by "Vazrazhdane" with the support of the deputies from "Velichy" and MECH. It is motivated by the failure of the government's policy in our foreign policy, BNR reported.
According to the rules of procedure of the parliament – the debates on the draft resolution for a vote of no confidence begin no earlier than three days and no later than 7 days from the receipt of the proposal. The vote will take place no earlier than 24 hours after the conclusion of the debates and is expected to take place on Thursday.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov described the vote not as a reproach to the government, but as an attempt to sow discord between the parties in the ruling coalition.
The PP-DB announced once again that they will not support a vote of no confidence that diverts Bulgaria from the Euro-Atlantic path.
"Time is short, and the topic of foreign policy is not a problem for the government. Rosen Zhelyazkov's government is doing what we think as a party - firm European support, friendship with Euro-Atlantic partners and joint projects in the defense sector," said GERB leader Boyko Borisov.
According to Vice President Iliana Yotova, a vote of no confidence is normal parliamentary practice.
