About Plamen Oresharski

Plamen Vasilev Oresharski is a Bulgarian politician who served as Prime Minister of Bulgaria from 2013 to 2014. Affiliated with the Bulgarian Socialist Party, he previously served as Member of the National Assembly from 2009 to 2013, Minister of Finance from 2005 to 2009 and Deputy Minister of Finance from 1997 to 2001. After the May 2013 parliamentary election, which was held earlier than initially expected because of the resignation of the Borisov cabinet, the latter's right-wing party, GERB, won a plurality. The bailout would eventually cost the state budget $4 billion, and would double the public debt. Nonetheless the cabinet was elected (with one change: Ivan Danov replaced Kalin Tiholov) and Oresharski became Prime Minister after a 120–97 vote in Parliament.
