Protesters used lasers to project the words “Resignation,” “Mafia Out,” and “For Fair Elections” onto the parliament building in Sofia.

Citing “the will of the people,” Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov announced his cabinet’s resignation, saying that the wave of civic energy should be “supported and encouraged.”

The opposition coalition PP-DB has meanwhile threatened to submit a no-confidence motion as early as this week if the government does not resign.

The stakes are clear: political stability and economic progress or a return to the endless cycle of elections.
