Democracy requires the ability to hear and consider different opinions, even when we don't like them, because this is how the choice that Bulgaria made more than three decades ago - the path of democratic legal order - is preserved. This was stated by Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov at the beginning of today's government meeting.

The Prime Minister emphasized that it was important for the entire cabinet to be present at today's debates on the vote of no confidence, as all motives, whether justified or not, should be heard in order to properly address the analyses, conclusions, and policies.

Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov recalled that the government came with a clear intention to build on what the previous administrations have achieved, so that those that follow can build upon what has been done. The Prime Minister said that the cabinet hears the voice of both young people and the more mature generations regarding how Bulgaria can be a better place to live.

Rosen Zhelyazkov appealed for the protests to be calm and peaceful, reminding that the exercise of civil rights involves respecting the rights of everyone - both protesters, police officers, and any other group, regardless of political differences.
