Bulgaria's leader, Rosen Zhelyazkov, has resigned. He said this on Wednesday night. Many people were unhappy with the government. They protested in the streets. The country has new political problems now. This is happening before Bulgaria joins the eurozone.
Big protests caused the government to fall. Many people met in Sofia, the capital city. They were angry about corruption. They asked Delyan Peevski and Boyko Borissov to resign. People think they have bad connections.
The protests were very strong. People showed signs saying "Resignation." They shouted for Peevski and Borissov to leave. The government changed a budget plan before. Now, a new vote was coming.
Prime Minister Zhelyazkov said he heard the people. He said, "We hear the citizens." The President also asked the government to step down. The government was alone.
A new, temporary government will be formed. They will work for a short time. Bulgaria will use the euro in twenty days. Some think this might change the euro plans. But officials say the plans are still okay.
