Bulgarians are heading to the polls to elect a new parliament and a new president amid a surge of coronavirus infections. Voters hope the election will result in a government to lead the European Union’s poorest member out of health and economic crises.
An elderly man walks in Vitosha Boulevard in central Sofia, Saturday, Nov.13, 2021. Voters will go to the polls in Bulgaria for the third time in seven months this weekend after no party secured enough support in the previous two elections in April and July to form a stable government.
Analysts predict a low turnout due to people’s concerns over the spread of the coronavirus, a sluggish vaccine uptake and political apathy after two inconclusive elections. Political analysts are predicting that a new party, We Continue the Change, created by the previous caretaker government’s ministers of economy and finance, will come in second and likely be at the core of a new government.
