Bulgaria parliament backs conservative-led coalition govt

(ANSA-AFP) - SOFIA, JAN 16 - Bulgaria's parliament on Thursday voted to approve a conservatives-led coalition government, formed in a bid to end the EU nation's prolonged political crisis. In its worst political turmoil since the end of communism, the poor Balkan country has seen seven snap votes after massive anti-graft protests led three-time premier Boyko Borisov to resign in 2021. Borisov's conservative GERB party topped the most recent election in October, and on Wednesday announced it had managed to agree with the Socialists and a populist party to form government, with the backing of a Turkish minority faction. A total of 125 lawmakers voted in favour of the new government lineup, while 114 voted against it. (ANSA-AFP).
