Bulgaria's Political Turmoil: A New Election Amidst Apathy

Bulgaria faces its seventh election in four years as political instability persists. Voters, increasingly disengaged, are skeptical of a clear resolution.

The EU's poorest member has been mired in governmental chaos since anti-corruption protests toppled a coalition in 2020. Predictions indicate no significant leadership changes, with turnout expected to hit historic lows.

Despite President Rumen Radev's mandate to the GERB party, coalition successes remain elusive. As Bulgaria inches towards another election, the push for a stable government grows critical, crucial for integrating EU funds and economic stabilization.
