Jul 26, 2011, 17:43 GMT
Sofia - Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov on Tuesday cruised through his third no-confidence since he stepping into leadership over two years ago.
The second motion launched in two months by the Socialist Party and their allies, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, failed with 143 out of the 240 legislators voting against it.
Borisov's conservative GERB party runs a minority cabinet. Despite losing some support since the start of the year, it still commands a stable majority through the votes of independent legislators.
