Vazrazhdane asks Velichie and MECh to support their motion of no confidence in the government over its perceived failure in finance policy, MP Tsoncho Ganev (Vazrazhdane) said in the parliamentary lobby on Friday.

“Today we will send official invitations to Velichie and MECh to support the motion of no confidence we would like to introduce on a topic which will affect the future of the country, because joining the eurozone is exactly that. We count on their signatures to be able to table the motion over the country’s finances, its financial stability and failure to meet revenue targets,” Ganev explained.

“For nearly two months Varzrazhdane has been working on a proposal for a motion of no confidence against the government. Unfortunately, there is no other opposition force in parliament that has signed it, but us,” Ganev added. For the motion to be debated and voted on in parliament, the necessary signatures must be collected, "but Velichie and MECh refuse to sign the proposal," he said.

"On Thursday, National Revenue Agency Executive Director Rumen Spetsov declared in a TV interview that a noticeable spike in the small consumer basket prices had been noted, yet the National Statistics declares zero inflation," Ganev argued in favour of Vazrazhdane’s request for a no-confidence vote. He said that the overall economic stability of the country is not good. As proof, he quoted data released by the Finance Ministry a few days ago showing that there is already a deficit and revenue is less than planned and expenditure more than planned.
