In accordance with Art. 111, para. 3 of the Constitution, the government led by Prime Minister Borissov will continue to perform its functions until the election of a new Council of Ministers and will achieve continuity in governance.
The information about the resignation was announced by the host of the first official sitting of the parliament, Mika Zaykova. The news was loudly applauded by MPs.
This is either a shame for the people and for you – to come here and resign, or it is a disregard for this institution. However, we are a parliamentary republic, added Mika Zaykova.
Parliament accepted the resignation of the Council of Ministers.
We remind you that the resigned Prime Minister Borissov also resigned from his seat.
