(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.
