The political party Vazrazhdane is initiating discussions for a third vote of no confidence against the government of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov, MP Tsontcho Ganev announced. Vazrazhdane has sent invitations to two parliamentary groups – Moral, Unity, Honor (MECH) and Velichie.

''We will propose that the topic for the next vote of no confidence be the government's financial policy, but the opinions of other parliamentary groups will also be heard", Tsoncho Ganev said.

Vazrazhdane has also held talks with representatives of Democracy, Rights and Freedoms-DPS, who indicated that they would support a no-confidence vote but would not be among its initiators. "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) are part of the governing majority—they support the budget, vote against, or abstain during no-confidence votes", Tsoncho Ganev added.

So far, two attempts have been made to oust the government—one on the initiative of Vazrazhdane and the other one on the initiative of MECH.

The parliamentary group of Velichie will not respond to Vazrazhdane's invitation for talks on the proposed new vote of no confidence, party leader Ivelin Mihaylov told reporters. In his words, Velichie will initiate its own vote.
