In the aftermath of the local elections, the coalition "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) stands out as the recipient of the highest donations, according to the Audit Chamber's register.

In a decisive move, Bulgarian deputies have rejected proposals to lower the threshold for holding referendums in the country. The National Assembly, in a session today, dismissed the draft law on amendments to the Law on Direct Participation of Citizens in State Power and Local Self-Government, as put forth by the party "There Is Such A People" (TISP).

Bulgaria's euro-skeptic party, "Vazrazhdane," has voiced discontent as the Constitutional Court delays ruling on the party's appeal against the National Assembly's decision to reject a proposed referendum against the euro.

In a united effort, "Vazrazhdane," the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), "There Is Such A People" (TISP), and independent MP Radostin Vassilev have submitted a second vote of no confidence against the "Denkov-Gabriel" government, citing defense and national security concerns. The opposition alleges that the government has failed to provide stability, peace, and effective border control.
