(Reuters) - The Bulgarian government, led by Rosen Zhelyazkov, survived a vote of no confidence on Thursday, launched over its foreign policy, BTA news agency reported.
The no-confidence motion, initiated by the Vazrazhdane party and backed by lawmakers from Velichie and MECh, failed to secure the necessary majority.
The vote ended with 54 members in favour of the motion and 150 against, with no abstentions reported.
For the motion to pass, it needed the support of more than half of the MPs in the 240-seat legislature.
