MPs began their working day with political statements expressing support for the government from some of the parties, while the opposition said it would table a vote of no confidence against the institutions it controls, a BGNES reporter said.

The only alternative to the government today is chaos, irresponsibility, and deadlock, said the largest parliamentary force, GERB-SDS. "GERB will continue to bear responsibility for governing the country because we are aware of the difficulties," said MP Toma Bikov.

He expects Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov's government to organize a smooth transition to the euro. Bulgaria must adopt the single European currency on January 1, 2026.

Nadezhda Yordanova, an MP from the largest opposition coalition, "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria," said that they will table a vote of no confidence in the government because of the seized institutions. "The development of a modern state means the rule of law within the framework of Bulgaria's European path," Yordanova added. І BGNES
