The Oresharski Government was the eighty-ninth cabinet of Bulgaria which took office on 29 May 2013. The government, led by Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski, is one of technocrats created following the 2013 election. The cabinet was dissolved on 6 August 2014 to make way for a caretaker government that would lead Bulgaria through early elections in October of the same year.
After President Rosen Plevneliev invited the Bulgarian Socialist Party to form a government, the BSP nominated Plamen Oresharski to head the government and was joined by the Movement for Rights and Freedoms. The Council of Ministers was approved by the 120 members of the BSP and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, while GERB's 97 MPs voted against the government and Ataka's 23 MPs were absent from the session. Outside support to the Oresharski government is also given by nationalist party Ataka.
Only two weeks after its initial formation the government came under criticism and had to deal with country-wide protests by the citizens, with those in Sofia reaching up to 11 000 participants. The reasons for these protests were largely the controversial appointment of media mogul Delyan Peevski as a chief of the National Security State Agency. The protests have ended with the government's resignation.
On 27 June, Tsvetlin Iovchev (BSP) is appointed as deputy Prime Minister, and Daniela Bobeva (BSP) is appointed deputy Prime Minister and minister of economic development.
Following her recent election to the European Parliament, Iskra Mikhailova steps down as minister of the environment and is succeeded by Stanislav Anastasov (DPS).
