Lawmakers from center-right GERB have refused to register in Parliament for a second time this week.
As a result, MPs canceled their plenary session over lack of quorum.
The opposition declared it would not take part in sessions until the cabinet resigns.

Early elections are now scheduled for October 5, and August 6 is the date for President Rosen Plevneliev to appoint an interim government, but no cabinet resignation has yet been handed.
Oresharski himself said Wednesday he would chose a suitable date at the end of August to announce the move.
