National Movement Simeon II (NMSII), one of the parties in the ruling coalition, rejected support for the no-confidence vote that opposition parties requested, NMSII member Anelia Mingova said.

Opposition parties tabled a no-confidence motion in the Parliament on February 22 2007. Healthcare problems and the lack of unified strategy for the sector were among the main reasons for the no-confidence motion, Dnevnik daily reported.

The no-confidence vote will ‘consolidate’ and stimulate the ruling coalition in its efforts to resolve problems in healthcare, Mingova said.

Mingova said that the initiators of the no-confidence motion were the real culprits for the problems in the sector. Former cabinets headed by opposition parties were the ones that launched healthcare reforms

NMSII will not abandon the healthcare problems, Mingova said. During it previous mandate, as well as in the current coalition NMSII tried to improve the healthcare system, but failed to find the best way to do it.
