The MECH party is filing a motion of no confidence against the government, the leader of Vazrazhdane, Kostadin Kostadinov said on the sidelines of the National Assembly. The MP said that it was organized by his political force, which gentlemanly gave way to MECH to file it because of the support provided in the previous vote.

Last week, Vazrazhdane began consultations with opposition parties for a new vote of no confidence. “We invited PP-DB, MECH and “Velichie”. The PP-DB did not respond and did not come, which shows that they are part of the government and it is very likely that they will support the government in this vote as well,” the party leader said.

The reason for the second vote of no confidence in the government of Rosen Zhelyazkov is failure of the anti-corruption policy of the cabinet. "We will continue to submit votes, if necessary every two weeks. This government is doomed because it has no foreign patrons - the ruling party has lost the support of Washington," Kostadin Kostadinov also said.
