"Bulgarian MPs have voted to accept the resignation of Prime Minister Boiko Borisov and his government. The vote opens the way for an early election, now expected in April rather than the scheduled July. Mr Borisov's surprise resignation followed nationwide street protests against high electricity prices and austerity measures. On Tuesday clashes between protesters and police left at least 14 people injured. The government's resignation was accepted in a 209-5 vote. President Rosen Plevneliev will now try to appoint an interim cabinet, to take the country through to early elections."
