Bulgarian government survives no-confidence vote over water crisis

SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgaria's government survived as expected on Wednesday a parliamentary vote of no-confidence brought by the opposition Socialists after thousands of people have been left with water shortages since November, leading to public protests.

A total of 124 deputies in the 240-seat parliament voted against the fourth no-confidence vote against the centre-right coalition government led by Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, while 102 lawmakers were in favour.
