site.btaVote of No Confidence Result Was Expected, Says Vazrazhdane Party Leader

The result of the vote of no confidence in the Zhelyazkov cabinet was expected, Vazrazhdane party leader Kostadin Kostadinov told journalists in Parliament's lobby on Thursday. Earlier in the day, the National Assembly rejected the no-confidence motion submitted by Vazrazhdane with support by the MPs of Velichie and MECh. 

"What we can say is that this government, in this form and with this policy, is harmful to Bulgaria," Kostadinov stressed, adding that during the debates with the ministers it was seen that they were unable to defend their position.

Kostadinov expressed the belief that this government is entirely in the service of foreign interests and does nothing in regard to the Bulgarian people and the national interests. "What worries us most is that the government's policy is a threat to the national security of Bulgaria," he concluded.
