Bulgaria is holding its seventh parliamentary election in three years as the nation attempts to overcome a prolonged period of political instability. The vote follows several failed attempts to form a lasting coalition, leading to concerns over voter exhaustion and a projected low turnout. While the center-right GERB party is favored to win the most seats, political analysts suggest that forming a stable majority remains difficult due to deep-seated divisions among the major parties. The result is seen as vital for the country’s integration into the eurozone and its future in the Schengen Area.
- Bulgaria is conducting its seventh general election since 2021 due to persistent parliamentary deadlock.
- The center-right GERB party, led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borisov, is leading in the polls but may struggle to find coalition partners.
- Voter turnout is expected to be low as many citizens express frustration with the frequent election cycles and lack of political progress.
- Pro-Russian and nationalist parties have seen an increase in support, potentially influencing the formation of any future government.
- A stable government is considered essential for Bulgaria to secure its entry into the eurozone and maintain its international standing.

LOL at Radev saying that Russia liberated Bulgaria, when in fact it was both Russia and Romania that liberated Bulgaria.
when i heard that bulgaria joins the euro zone i immediately converted my euro savings into gold
it is interesting to see DW journalists challenging other counties’ democratic votings when its own German Merz reached lowest support in German history 😅
lmao the seething in the comments is hilarious. hopefully radev wins just because the reddit meltdown will be glorious
Pragmatism over stupidity from Brussels. Go Radev!

As long as they have no supermajority they can't really do much.😅
Also they are collapsing regularly so I don't expect much change in this regard 😅
The New Hungary? The new president of Hungary is just as anti-EU as Orban. You mean a second Hungary.
I agree with 19:35 Mr. Dimitar Keranov!
We need JD
First of all your English Dimitar is soo poor that even my grandma speaks better English than you. Secondly your view on Bulgarian politics sounds like you need to be cast out of the country immediately and go to leave in Brussels if you're so concerned about how Rumen Radev will be bad for EU. Bulgarians don't give an F about EU if the country they are leaving in is controlled by EU. We want independence and not more corruption. So yes we will be better with Russia. If you don't like it go out and leave in Brussels
If Radev wins, he won't have the necessary majority to create a normal functioning office. Basically he won't be able to promote and materialize his visions about the future of Bulgaria. I expect new election pretty soon. Bulgaria will have this "Italian syndrome" for a long long time ahead unless changes will be made in the constitution of this country.
EUs poorest country…maybe they see the EU foreign policies as why they are poor.
Bullgarians…go and vote wake wake …. not drunk……
Bulgaria adopted the euro!!!!! So that will make them a servant to Brussels regardless of who wins the elections. Orban was smart in keeping their currency and not adopting the euro, and that’s why he could be difficult for Brussels !
Only say that bewteen pro-EU or pro-Russia which one has win
Russia always do a lot more than they say!
Bulgaria was dragged behind the Western Europe for 50 years due to Russian influence/ domination. They do not need to thank Russia for liberating them from Germany. That is canceled by Russian government during 50 years.
A small country receaving a lot of EU should not back Russia! If they do EU will not wait 15 years to act! It will be costly very fast for Bulgaria and there is very little money coming from Russia compared with EU money! So choose wisely! You will not get both!
Good session addressing difficult questions
So the EU has set its sights on Bulgaria for election interference…
First i tink dis dude needs English lessons… So sorry, can't follow
Earlier this year, economics experts deemed Hungary worse than Bulgaria, because of the Orban's economical choices.
Now that Orban been ousted, Hungary will have the chance to get out of the slump.
Then now I see that Bulgaria wants to keep their economical last pace by electing a Russian-imperialist-puppet?
Please don't!
Българите пак гласуваха неграмотно. Трябва още да ни крадат и лъжат, за да постъпим като унгарците. Тъжно е.
If we, all the small and middle power europeans, still not understand that our best shield and protection against attacks and invasions by authoritarian imperialist ultra-nationalist fascist madmen leaders of superpowers is to stay united and work constructively together, we're lost. The expectation of a 6mln inhabitants nation for a mutual beneficial and respectfull relationship with a 140mln superpower madman is either political ignorance, or downright corruption. Or ultimately the betrayal of 350mln europeans.
We need JD Vance speaking to destroy the pro-Russia vote!
So dumb. Watching how bad Hungary was driven into ditch by pro Russian policies, to Bulgaria doing same as Hungary turns away. Russia has Europe by balls.
A huge german news station positioning 1 bad guy and 1 good guy in other EU countries elections, is very worrying even if you support the right guys for now
…meanwhile, somewhere in the Kremlin Pootsie rubs hands in content
Trump, please send one of your Putin-lovers to Bulgaria……….!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Bending the knee to Russia 👉 wrong side of history
Why would any semi critical thinker want to align themselves with putler or tYRmf!
