The Bulgarian parliament has convened an extraordinary session to discuss the vote of no confidence in the government of Kiril Petkov requested by the former ruling GERB-SDS party. The motive of the second largest political force in the opposition is a failure in the financial and economic policy of the cabinet.
So far, support for the vote has been expressed by other opposition parties - the MRF and Vazrazhdane, as well as the ruling coalition partner until recently - "There is such a people" (ITN party).
The vote is expected to take place on June 22, but no earlier than 24 hours after the end of discussions today.
