Bulgaria's government survived a no-confidence vote on October 13 that was filed by three opposition parties over plans for a transition to cleaner energy and other policies in the energy sector. The vote against Nikolay Denkov’s government was supported by the pro-Russia party Vazrazhdane, the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), the populist party There Is Such A People (ITN) and one independent lawmaker. Members of GERB, We Continue The Change – Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB), and the Movement For Rights And Freedoms (DPS) supported the government. This was the first motion for a vote of no-confidence against Denkov's government, which was formed in July after five general elections within two years.
