In the National Assembly, the deputies voted on the resignation of the 'Zhelyazkov' cabinet. With a full majority, 227 Members of Parliament voted 'in favor' of the resignation.
This happens 10 months and 25 days after Rosen Zhelyazkov took office as Prime Minister.
The debate in the plenary hall began in the absence of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov and the ministers of the cabinet.
The government fell under the pressure of the many thousands of protests in Sofia and the country. According to Rosen Zhelyazkov, the will of the citizens also influenced the decision.
The resignation was submitted minutes before the deputies were to vote on the no-confidence vote, submitted by PP-DB and supported by APS and MECH, and was immediately deposited in the registry of the National Assembly.
The leaders of almost all parties in parliament stated that a new configuration for forming a cabinet is not possible.
