site.btaPM Says He Never Approaches No-Confidence Votes with Political Arrogance

Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov commented on the unsuccessful fourth vote of no confidence against his Cabinet which took place on Thursday. Speaking from Rome, he said he never approaches a vote with political arrogance and thinks every vote should be taken seriously, by any government.

The Prime Minister said that this instrument of parliamentary scrutiny was sometimes devalued, but political ad hoc decisions such as that of Continue the Change were not surprising. Zhelyazkov pointed out that the surprise for him was the vote of Democrtaic Bulgaria (DB) Co-Chair Bozhidar Bozhanov. Earlier in the day, Bozhanov said that DB will not participate in the vote but one of the coalition's leaders will support the motion to reflect the shared position of the entire Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria parliamentary group.
