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.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has initiated discussions with potential candidates for acting prime minister, marking a pivotal moment in the country's political landscape. With the resignation of Deputy Ombudsman Elena Cherneva Markova, the list of possibilities has narrowed to nine, prompting intense deliberations at the highest levels of government.

Finally, the parliament decided that the minimum wage should be 50% of the national average.

"We Continue the Change" (WCC) and "Democratic Bulgaria" (DB) accused the other 5 parliamentary represented formations of a conspiracy against the admission of Bulgaria to the Eurozone and the implementation of the justice reform.

The distance between the candidates for president of GERB and BSP is closing. 31.4 % of voters would vote for Tsetska Tsacheva, while 27% would vote for Rumen Radev, showed a nationally representative survey of Mediana agency.

An unknown man has thrown paving stones at the main office of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) in downtown Sofia, party officials say.

No-one has been injured. The attacker has apparently broken part of the glass walls around the main entrance.

The opposition Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) has begun its partnership with Greece's main governing party, left-wing SYRIZA, socialist members have announced.

This comes more than a month after SYRIZA overwhelmingly won the elections in Greece, forging a coalition with the Independent Greeks party (ANEL).

Bulgaria's Parliament set up a temporary committee to investigate “the activities of the EDCs and the concessioners and their unauthorised contacts with politicians”.
