site.btaBorissov, Peevski Comment on No-Confidence Vote against Government

Movement for Rights and Freedoms Floor Leader Delyan Peevski commented Wednesday on the no-confidence vote against the Nikolay Denkov government, which the Bulgarian Socialist Party tabled together with There Is Such a People and Vazrazhdane "because of the government's inability to guarantee the national security and defence of the country". “The vote is absolutely pointless, it will not be successful,” said Peevski.

GERB leader Boyko Borissov also commented on the no-confidence vote, saying that in his opinion, there will be no surprises. “In the last ten years, we have done so much for rearming the Bulgarian army, so the vote is absolutely meaningless and we will not support it,” he added.

Borissov pointed out that the government cannot fall because of issues surrounding the budget. “Even if a budget is not adopted, we have been without a budget for years, the last three years, so this is nothing new,” he noted in response to a question.
