All MPs voted in favor of the resignation of the Zhelyazkov cabinet
Unanimously, with 227 votes in favor, MPs accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov. There were no votes against and no abstentions, according to the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency. The current cabinet must continue to perform its duties conscientiously until a new regular cabinet is formed or an interim cabinet is appointed.
The government's resignation was announced shortly before the vote of no confidence on Thursday by Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov, on the orders of GERB leader Boyko Borisov, who was under pressure from unprecedented protests in Bulgaria. Immediately afterwards, it was submitted to the parliament's registry.
In his resignation statement, Rosen Zhelyazkov noted that "on the basis of the Constitution, the government he leads will continue to perform its duties until a new government is elected and will ensure continuity in the governance of the Republic of Bulgaria."
