The plenary debate on the third motion of no confidence against Rosen Zhelyazkov's government, proposed by the Revival party, has concluded. According to the National Assembly's rules, the vote must take place at least 24 hours after the debates end. It will be held on Friday 4 July. The motion cited the government's failures in fiscal policy and eurozone accession.

'A third vote of no confidence within six months is a diagnosis not for the government, but for the opposition.' This will be a third failure because a vote of no confidence is the strongest tool available to the opposition. Over the past four years, the only consistent and regular occurrence has been the destruction of the institutional structure of the state and trust in institutions," said Toma Bikov of GERB-SDS.

Even before the vote on the third motion had passed, Velichie announced that a fourth would be tabled – this time for ‘failure to deal with Bulgaria's environmental disaster’.
