Bulgaria

Today, President Rumen Radev signed a decree confirming the appointment of an interim government in Bulgaria. The new caretaker cabinet, known as "Glavchev 2," will be sworn in before the National Assembly, with only three changes in its composition. Atanas Ilkov, the head of the National Police, will replace Kalin Stoyanov as Minister of Internal Affairs.

On Tuesday, sunny weather will dominate much of Bulgaria until midday. However, in the afternoon, there will be a noticeable increase in cumulus and cumulus-rain clouds, particularly over the northern and eastern regions. This will lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms, primarily affecting North-Eastern Bulgaria. The wind will be light to moderate, blowing from the northeast-east.

Hoteliers along Bulgaria's Black Sea coast are reporting a disappointing summer season, describing it as miserable due to a significant drop in visitor numbers.

The new government of Bulgaria is merely a continuation of the previous one, according to Tsoncho Ganev, the deputy chairman of the "Revival" party, who expressed a lack of trust in the newly formed administration during an interview with BNR. One major concern highlighted by Ganev is the appointment of the new Minister of Internal Affairs.

Bulgaria will hold a snap parliamentary election, its seventh in just three years, on October 27, President Rumen Radev has said, following the failure of its political parties to agree a coalition government.

Late last night, a glowing object was observed in the sky over Bulgaria, which was later identified as a fragment of an artificial satellite. The object, estimated to be the size of a car or a bus, was initially mistaken for a meteorite or asteroid. However, Nikola Petrov, the director of the Rozhen Observatory, clarified that it was indeed a piece of "space junk."
