The "Volt" party, established by Nastimir Ananiev, will not participate in the upcoming October 27 elections as part of the "We Continue the Change - Democratic Bulgaria" (WCC-DB) coalition. This decision was communicated by Simeon Trulev, co-chairman of "Volt," in a statement to the media.

The second caretaker cabinet led by Dimitar Glavchev was formally sworn in before the National Assembly today. The ceremony took place during an extraordinary parliamentary session convened by Speaker Raya Nazaryan at 11:00 a.m., with the sole agenda item being the oath-taking of the new government members. Following the swearing-in, the session was promptly adjourned.

Today, President Rumen Radev signed a decree confirming the appointment of an interim government in Bulgaria.

Bulgaria will hold a snap parliamentary election, its seventh in just three years, on October 27, President Rumen Radev has said, following the failure of its political parties to agree a coalition government.
