SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov's centre-right government survived a no-confidence vote in parliament on Tuesday that was called during a wave of anti-corruption protests.

Thousands of Bulgarians have taken part in rallies in the past two weeks, saying the government has only been going through the motions in fighting corruption while state institutions get weaker to the benefit of private interests.
