Bulgarian Socialist Party

Accusations of betrayal over North Macedonia

Clear mobilization of a radical vote is reported in the latest nationally representative survey by the Alpha Research polling agency.

Sofia Regional Governor Ivan Kyuchukov has declared illegal the decisions to rename an alley and a square to "Heroes of Ukraine Alley" and "Boris Nemtsov Square" near the Russian Embassy, ​​as well as raising the Ukrainian flag over the Sofia Municipality building.

Exactly one year after the last regular elections for the National Assembly, former prime minister Boyko Borissov's party GERB is ahead of current prime minister Kiril Petkov's "We Continue the Change" as the first political force in Bulgaria. This is shown by the data from a national survey, co-financed and conducted jointly by bTV and Market Links.

The Bulgarian Socialist Party long ago lost credibility among young, progressive, pro-Western leftists. But who else is there on the Bulgarian Left?

The political formations that participated in the parliamentary elections in November spent over BGN 7.3 million, according to a study by the Institute for the Development of the Public Environment.

This was the first time that Radev, who ran successfully twice as an independent candidate supported by Bulgarian Socialist Party, BSP, has participated in the event.

Kornelia Ninova remains the leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party after the party's congress rejected her resignation in a closed discussion and a vote with 415 votes against, 164 in favor, and 20 abstentions.

Bulgarian Socialist Party leader and deputy prime minister-designate Kornelia Ninova has announced that her party will be the guarantor of social policies in the new government. She chose some of the measures that are being adopted - to have free kindergartens for all children, to have no pensioners below the poverty line, to reduce imports in favor of Bulgarian agriculture.
