• “The decisions of the National Assembly are meaningful when they reflect the will of the people,” Zhelyazkov said, referring to the anti-government protests. “We want to be where society expects us to be.”

    What a novel idea.

    "Zhelyazkov’s government survived six votes of no confidence since it was appointed in January, but this time the large turnout of protesters on the streets was a game changer."

    Noteworthy, perhaps?

    "Assen Vassilev, the leader of the opposition We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria coalition, called the government’s resignation 'the first step in making Bulgaria a normal European state.'”

    Oh boy...what does this part mean though? Joining the EU? Austerity? Remains to be seen?

    Bulgaria has been part of the EU since 2007.
