The recent Bulgarian elections saw a significant downturn for the "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) coalition, as anticipated. Preliminary data indicates a loss of approximately 250,000 votes compared to the previous election.

In the studio of "The Day Begins", sociologist Boryana Dimitrova described the debate as very important, especially for people who want to vote informe, to see the position of the main candidates. She also commented that the differences were clear. According to Parvan Simeonov, the clash between the two presidential candidates passed almost without mistakes on their part.

Preliminarypolls show us that the party that behaved most in contravention of the expected parliamentary behaviour -TISP - has seen some downward trend in voter support. The other parties of the protest are rather holding on and perhaps have a slight decline. Only BSP has a slight growth", the sociologist from "Alpha Research" Boryana Dimitrova told bTV.

There are three possible election results depending on the turnout in election day according to Alpha Research Agency.

The most likely scenario at the moment is after the upcoming elections on April 4 to have a fragmented parliament with 5 to 7 parties. This was announced to the Bulgarian National Radio by the sociologist Boryana Dimitrova from the Alpha Research Agency.

71% of Bulgarians say it is necessary to investigate corruption at the highest political level, and 63% say that corruption at municipal level has to be investigated, said Alpha Research manager Boryana Dimitrova at a round table, Focus News Agency reports.

For the first time in 20 years, the majority of Bulgarians are optimistic. This is the data from a survey by Alpha Research Agency done together with NOVA.

55 percent of the people who got questioned, they expect the next year to be better. The opinion is that 36% of respondents will be the same, and worse - 9%.

Five Supreme Judges and one Chairperson of a District Court have been elected members of the next Supreme Judicial Council from the judges' quota. This was decided by the judges at the first direct elections of the governing body of the judiciary on 18th of June. The General Assembly meeting ended shortly before 23:00 and the results were announced, according to BNT.

Bulgarians are voting for snap, contentious parliamentary elections which are a test of their loyalty to their partners in the European Union, reported Reuters.

Contenders leading in popularity promise to continue Euro Atlantc policy or improve relations with Russia - even at the price of disappointing leading countries in the EU and creating another problem in Europe after Brexit.

If parliamentary elections were held today, GERB would win 32.6% of the votes of people who are determined to vote, while BSP will get 28.8%, showed the results of the latest survey of NOVA and Alpha Research agency, presented on Nova TV. No single party would have an independent majority and possible coalitions would be difficult to form.

For the first time in the history of the presidential elections in Bulgaria, there is such a narrow gap between the first and the second candidate, while the two of them have the support of less than 50% of the voters, announced Boryana Dimitrova, managing director of Alpha Research.
