Rumen Radev, a former president with a record of pro-Russian stances, is projected to win Bulgaria's upcoming parliamentary elections on April 19. This will be the eighth parliamentary election the country has seen in just five years, underscoring the political instability that has gripped the nation.
Radev, who previously served as president from 2017 to 2022, is campaigning on a promise to fight corruption - a major issue that has plagued Bulgaria for decades. The country has long been dogged by allegations of graft, cronyism, and the entanglement of political and business interests.
