Borissov criticized Radev's decision, saying it was hard to know how the pandemic would unfold by late March and implying that elections should be delayed.

„It was quite difficult to collect information about the work of the National Assembly during the outgoing year but it is extremely important on the eve of the parliamentary election," told the Bulgarian National Radio Iva Lazarova from the Institute for Public Environment Development commenting on what the lawmakers have done and how much money they've spent in 2020.

There will be second round of local election in Bulgaria's second largest city of Plovdiv as well, BNT reported.

According to a survey by Alpha Research polling agency, at the end of December 48% of the Bulgarians said they would vote in the European elections. Every second from the rest will either not vote or has not yet decided how to proceed. The survey was conducted from 14 to 19 December among a nationally representative sample of 1,027 adult Bulgarians, reports BNT. 

Bulgaria's early elections this Sunday will most likely send six parties in Parliament, shows a public opinion poll, published by the Alpha Research agency on its website.

It surveyed 1100 adult Bulgarian citizens in the period September 28-30.

Forty percent of Bulgarians are pro-EU, while 22% would like Bulgaria to join the Russia-led Eurasian Union, shows a survey of the Alpha Research agency. 

The question Alpha Research asked the respondents in the end of April was “If today was held a referendum for the joining of Bulgaria to the EU or the Eurasian Union, which would you choose?”
