As expected, the fifth vote of no confidence was also not successful. It was submitted by "We continue the change - Democratic Bulgaria", supported by the signatures of APS and MECH. The vote was on the topic "Internal security and public order". 234 MPs voted in the plenary hall. "For" were 101 MPs from PP-DB, "Vazrazhdane", APS, MECH and "Velichye". "Against" There were 113 MPs from GERB-SDF, BSP, "There is such a people" and MPS-New beginning. "Abstained" no one voted.
"Today's vote of no confidence showed that the country has three prime ministers. One is formal, the other is not even in the hall to support his own government and the third is the main prime minister - the capital D. Boyko Borisov fled again today. When things get tough, he always disappears. Colleagues from GERB, don't you feel that the capital D is taking over your party and you are turning into pawns. Today there will be another protest and all worthy Bulgarians will resist the capital D", said Ivaylo Mirchev from PP-DB from the rostrum, quoted by novini.bg.
"The Council of Ministers heard the arguments of this vote and I believe that we answered you with arguments", said Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov. "This is normal political life in a parliamentary democracy. This vote was not carried out and the government continues its work. In recent days, we have noticed an increase in public tension. The climax was today and it was ugly, unacceptable and frivolous for citizens. Today, the understanding of what politics is has been shattered. Politics is about achieving trust, not sowing hatred. The place for debate is in the plenary hall, just as the place for justice is in the courtroom and the place for protest is on the street, not in this hall. My appeal is to guard Bulgarian democracy a little more wisely, because it is fragile and many more tests lie ahead. I thank everyone who supported the government. With our work, we should clearly expect a sixth vote," concluded the Prime Minister.
