The parliamentary party Bulgarian Socialist Party for Bulgaria (BSP for Bulgaria) has filed a no-confidence motion in parliament over the failure of the government's environmental and water policy. The document was signed by 78 members of the left wing. According to BSP leader Kornelia Ninova, 500,000 Bulgarians are now faced with a water supply regime and this number might grow considerably. We are breathing one of the dirtiest airs in Europe, and Bulgaria has become a garbage dump for trash coming not only from Europe but also from the Third World. Every day, new and new facts emerge about the garbage imported into Bulgaria for incineration, Ninova said. According to the Bulgarian Socialist Party, if all opposition and independent MPs support their motives, the vote will be successful with 124 votes.
