Bulgaria’s formerly ruling center-right party GERB is about to table a no-confidence motion against the embattled Socialist-backed government, it was announced on Wednesday.

The move is meant as a gesture of support for the thousands of protestors, who have been hitting the streets for more than a month already, calling for the resignation of the cabinet, headed by Plamen Oresharski, GERB MPs explained.

GEBR will also pencil in a date for holding early elections, the party's MPs, who have been boycotting the parliamentary sessions, said.

They however conveniently turned a blind eye to the fact that the protestors are opposed to GERB's return to power and want a complete overhaul of the corrupted political system.

The series of anti-government protests in Bulgaria was triggered by the scandalous appointment of controversial media mogul Delyan Peevski as Chair of the State Agency for National Security (DANS) on June 14.

Although the appointment was revoked, Bulgarians went on to demand that the cabinet of PM Plamen Oresharski resign collectively.
