Maya Manolova

Atanas Zafirov, the interim chairman of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), addressed the crowd at Buzludzha, where the 133rd anniversary of the organized socialist movement in Bulgaria was being celebrated. Despite former leader Kornelia Ninova's absence, notable figures like Georgi Parvanov, Maya Manolova, and Rumen Petkov were in attendance.

On Victory Day, commemorating the end of World War II, the coalition "Solidary Bulgaria" marked the occasion with a symbolic gesture at the dismantled monument to the Soviet army in Sofia. With flowers adorning the fence and an inscription declaring "There will be a monument here again!", the coalition reiterated its commitment to restoring the monument.

Vanya Grigorova has announced her entry into a triple coalition for the upcoming parliamentary elections, unveiling the alliance under the banner of "Solidary Bulgaria."

A heated controversy erupted within Parliament following the revelation of images capturing a Christmas celebration hosted by Democratic Bulgaria. Georgi Svilensky, a member of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP), unveiled photos portraying cakes shaped to resemble the Soviet Army monument, fueling intense debate and criticism.

The Administrative Court in Sofia has revealed that the dismantling of the Monument to the Soviet Army was carried out without a legal order, leading to a decisive halt of its relocation, as per the court's order published today.

Since the morning, the Monument to the Soviet Army has been cordoned off with high and thick fences, BTA reported.

In the area of the monument, which is located in the Prince's Garden, there is an increased police presence, uniformed law enforcement officers have surrounded the monument on all its sides.

An attack on the monument to the Soviet Army took place last night. Young men broke with a hammer the plaque on the monument known as MOCHA - Monument to the Occupier Red Army, and also attacked with smoke the tent camp that the party "Levitsata" had set up there to guard the monument.

The monument to the Soviet Army in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia may not be moved from the "Prince's Garden" until the end of the year, according to a press release from the Sofia District Administration.

An hour before the vote for a new cabinet, hundreds of "Vazrazhdane" supporters gathered in the square in front of the National Assembly building.

Minutes before the vote for the cabinet, the entire parliamentary group of "There Is Such a People" (TISP) led by Toshko Yordanov, as well as Maya Manolova from "Levitsata" gathered on the square.

The question of changing the leadership in the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) does not stand. Party leader Kornelia Ninova will not resign, despite the historically poor result of Sunday's vote.

This became clear at the BSP's first briefing after the elections, in which the party received 8.94%.
