MPs, ministers and journalists were evacuated on Wednesday from the parliament building in Sofia, Bulgaria, where they spent the night under siege.
The building was surrounded by anti-corruption protesters.
The blockade of the parliament was sparked by a government decision to borrow $676 million, raising the budget deficit to two percent of gross domestic product.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski’s cabinet has refused to quit and about 500 to 1,000 pro-government supporters have held daily counter-demonstrations in Sofia and about 200,000 people have signed a petition supporting him, the news agency said.
