3 parties table a motion of no confidence in the government

Kostadin Kostadinov

The first vote of no confidence in Rosen Zhelyazkov's cabinet was submitted to parliament on the initiative of the Vazrazhdane party, with the support of Velichie and MECH.


"This vote is doomed by pure mathematics, but that does not mean that we should not present our arguments," said Kostadin Kostadinov, the leader of Vazrazhdane. According to him, the motion is a consequence of the government's failure in foreign policy.

Under the rules of procedure of the National Assembly, the debate on the draft no-confidence resolution shall begin no earlier than three days and no later than seven days after the motion is submitted. The vote takes place at the earliest 24 hours after the end of the debate. For the motion to be carried, more than half of all MPs must vote in favour.


If a motion of no confidence is rejected, no new motion on the same grounds may be tabled within the following six months.
