Bulgarian irredentism

The "Greatness" party has directly accused Boyko Borissov, the leader of GERB, and Delyan Peevski from DPS-New Beginning of vote manipulation in the recent Bulgarian parliamentary elections held on October 27.

In the Bulgarian National Assembly, a request by the "Revival" party to host an exhibition portraying the Palestinian perspective on the war in Gaza has sparked controversy. The party's leader, Kostadin Kostadinov, called on the parliamentary leadership to reconsider their decision and find a space for the exhibition.

In the annals of Bulgarian history, few events stand as tall as the Unification of 1885. This momentous occasion marked a critical step towards realizing the national ideal of a united Bulgaria, bringing together the Principality of Bulgaria and Eastern Rumelia in defiance of great power politics and Ottoman rule.

Historical Context

If the elections were held today, GERB would lead with 21.9% of the vote, according to a recent survey by the "Market LINKS" agency, conducted from August 14 to 23.

According to a recent Gallup survey conducted for Bulgarian National Television, around 25% of Bulgarians would vote for GERB if the elections were held in early August. The survey indicates that the real contest will be for the second, third, and fourth positions.

A physical confrontation erupted between deputies from "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) and the pro-Russian "Revival" (Vazrazhdane) party on the sidelines of the Bulgarian parliament. Yavor Bozhankov, a WCC-DB MP, posted a video of the altercation on Facebook, alleging that he was attacked by a member of "Revival" who shouted homophobic slurs at him.

In (potential) upcoming autumn parliamentary elections, GERB is projected to lead with 23% support, according to a survey by Market Links conducted between July 20 and 28. "We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) is expected to receive 15.3% of the vote.

The Bulgarian "Vazrazhdane" (Revival) party is facing internal turmoil, with recent events shedding light on fundamental divisions within the party beyond mere political disagreements.
