Bulgaria’s Petkov points finger at mafia and Russia as government collapses
123 lawmakers out of 239 voted against the prime minister’s cabinet.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov planted the blame squarely on Russia and his own country’s powerful mafia after his government lost a no-confidence vote on Wednesday.
Petkov, who only came to power six months ago, was voted in on a pledge to fight the country’s rampant corruption and has pushed Sofia to take an unusually strong line against Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.
