Protesters win, Bulgarian prime minister resigns

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rossen Zhelyazkov said on December 11 that his government will resign.
The announcement came the afternoon after tens of thousands of Bulgarians protested in the country's cities on December 10, demanding the government's resignation.
Zhelyazkov's government had to face a sixth no-confidence motion against it on December 11, submitted by the opposition coalition "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" with the support of two minority opposition parties.
The vote was scheduled to be held at 1:30 p.m., but MPs from the majority partners in the government GERB-UDF, including leader Boyko Borissov, were absent from the session at that time, as were MPs from the two minority partners in the government, the Bulgarian Socialist Party, the United Left and the populist ITN party.
The first no-confidence motion against the Zhelyazkov government was filed by Vuzrazhdane in April, over foreign policy, and the second was filed later in April by Mech, over corruption.
The third, which was rejected on July 4, was presented by Vuzrazhdane, Mech and Veliche, on the grounds that the government's fiscal policy was a failure, while the fourth, defeated on July 11, was presented by Velichie, supported by Mech and Vuzrazhdane, on the grounds that environmental policies were failures.
