Protest against the government

This is the sixth vote of no confidence against the Zhelyazkov cabinet, brought over what the opposition describes as the government’s failure in economic policy.

Yesterday, the debate lasted around five hours. The sharp political exchanges in the chamber focused both on the drafting of the budget and on the management of the security services. “Vazrazhdane” and “Velichie” also announced they would back the motion, though each for their own reasons.
