GERB leader Boyko Borissov Thursday said that his party "will most certainly back" the Government of Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov. Borissov was speaking to the press on his way out of a meeting of the parliamentary leadership with the security services over the Middle East crisis, held shortly after the MPs debated a motion for a vote of no-confidence in the government over its energy policy.

"We will most certainly back the government, especially in this international situation. Imagine having a caretaker government and new parliamentary elections on top of the local elections! This [no-confidence debate] is merely time that the opposition used to say whatever they wanted to say," said Borissov.

Borissov's party is part of the Denkov Government and will even rotate the Prime Minister's office with Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria. That means that Mariya Gabriel, currently the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister in Denkov's Cabinet, will take over as Prime Minister in February for the cabinet's second nine months. MORE
