The coalition "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) leads with 1.4% over GERB-SDS, there is no clear winner in the parliamentary elections on April 2. 23.7% of voters support WCC-DB, GERB-SDS are second with 22.3 percent.

Data from the national "Nasoca" survey shows that the two leading political forces are extremely close, and with the expected turnout, it is possible that a relatively small number of votes could lead to a shift at the top.

Five political formations are certain to participate in the next National Assembly. However, the winner remains unclear. Three parties remain below the parliamentary barrier, but with support above 3%. This is shown by the data from a study by "Trend" commissioned by the newspaper "24 Chasa" about the electoral attitudes of Bulgarians.

If the elections in Bulgaria were in early March, the result would probably be as follows: "We Continue the Change" - "Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) and GERB-SDS would have almost identical support with 27.2% and 26.6%, The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) and "Vazrazhdane" are the other pair with similar results and would fight for third place, with 13.4% and 12.3% respectively.

Municipal councilors from the commission for education and culture in Sofia voted "in favor" of dismantling and moving the monument to the Soviet Army.

The difference between the leading parties GERB-SDS and "We Continue the Change" (WCC) at the beginning of the election campaign is very small. This is shown by a survey on the electoral attitudes of "Market Links" and bTV

The Parliamentary Group of the Bulgarian Socialist Party gave a statement in parliament. "We brought out the most important priorities for Bulgaria and the Bulgarian people, which exist in the programs of all parties. We were looking for solutions to get out of the political crisis. We invited all the leaders of parties represented in the parliament for a conversation.
