The center-right government led by Boyko Borissov in Bulgaria survived the fifth no-confidence vote on Thursday. The opposition Socialist party, had called for a no-confidence over the government’s failure to tackle corruption, Reuters reported.

Bulgaria is witnessing a major wave of protest which has entered its 13th day. Thousands had become part of the anti-corruption protest that had engulfed the capital city Sofia. The protesters have said that the state institutions are working to the benefit of private interests under Borissov.

The protesters were seen chanting “resign” and “jail,” and blocked the roads in front of the parliament. They have demanded the resignation of Borissov and Bulgaria’s chief prosecutor.

Following the widespread protests, the government had sacked its finance, interior and economy ministers. They were allegedly influenced by a media mogul and businessman from another political party.

“Every voice will be heard. Will there be changes? Yes. It is not enough to be better than the others. We need to be as good as people want,” Deputy Prime Minister Tomislav Donchev told reporters.

While 124 lawmakers opposed the no-confidence, 102 favoured it. The coalition government had assumed office in 2017. In January this year, the government had to face another no-confidence vote over the water crisis in the country. Bulgaria is one of the poorest member states of the European Union.
