Bulgaria experienced significant political instability for years until the recent parliamentary elections, which saw Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria become the dominant force. Radev secured 44.6% of the vote, significantly outpacing rivals GERB and PP-DB. While some commentators labeled him a “new Orbán” due to his geopolitical leanings, others argue he prioritizes stability and deep anti-corruption reforms over radical shifts. His campaign appealed broadly to disillusioned voters seeking strong leadership outside the established pro-Western mainstream. Despite mixed reactions from Western observers, analysts suggest major changes are coming to Bulgaria, with Radev’s bloc potentially forming a constitutional majority with PP-DB to push for judicial reform.
