Bulgaria's left-wing Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) and far-right Ataka (Attack) will support a no-confidence vote against ruling centrist-right GERB, it has been made clear.
The no-confidence motion, a result of the government's recent decision to scrap the Belene Nuclear Power Plant project, is expected to be introduced to the Parliament on Friday.
It is already clear that the no-confidence vote is doomed, as all Parliamentary formations besides BSP and Ataka have declared they would not support it.
BSP has 40 MPs in the 240-seat Bulgarian Parliament, while Ataka has just 10 lawmakers. A total of 121 votes are necessary for the no-confidence vote to pass, which is impossible even with the assistance of all so-called "independent" MPs.
Last week, Bulgaria's government announced it has abandoned plans to build a new, 2000 megawatt nuclear power plant on the Danube River for which it has contracted Russian state firm Atomstroyexport.
The government proposed that a gas-powered plant is built on the site in Belene.
