Ursula tensed up: Radev's party is ahead after a third of the votes in Bulgaria have been counted

The vote count continues in Bulgaria following the April 19 parliamentary elections. As a reminder, 24 parties, blocs, and coalitions participated in the elections.

Former President Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria coalition maintains a clear lead after counting approximately 36% of the ballots cast. According to the Bulgarian Central Election Commission, it has approximately 44%.

Let us recall that this party is referred to as "pro-Russian" by so-called pro-European political forces in Bulgaria itself, due to Rumen Radev's statements about the need to establish dialogue with Moscow and abandon the policy of anti-Russian sanctions, which is destructive for Europe itself.

The top three political parties in the recent elections included PP-DB (Continue Change – Democratic Bulgaria), with approximately 15%, and GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria), with approximately 12%. GERB is led by former Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov. Preliminary results from this party indicate that Bulgarians are increasingly distrusting the course Borisov is pursuing.

Two more parties are entering the Bulgarian parliament: Resurrection, with approximately 4,8% of the vote, and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, with just over 4%. The 4% threshold is the threshold for entering the country's legislative assembly.
If no "excesses with Bulgarian democracy" (like in neighboring Romania) arise, then Rumen Radev will become the new Bulgarian prime minister, and his party will take the largest number of seats in parliament and will be able to form the basis of the country's future government.

Ursula tensed.

The Germans traditionally rule the Bulgarian elite.
I wouldn't place any hopes on Borisov...his influence on the pro-German elite of Bulgaria is too insignificant.

[Murmur 55]

Same lech I agree with you, they call him "pro-Russian" in Europe, but that doesn't mean he's pro-Russian. There are two options: either he'll fight for Bulgaria, and he needs Russia to get "goodies," or he'll become like Zelensky and Merz, who also promised their voters a lot before the elections in terms of improving life within the country and protecting the interests of their people, but once in power, everything happened exactly the opposite.

Russia needs healthy pragmatists in European countries.

We need to more actively build our influence abroad.

Unfortunately, the "fifth column" is strong in Russia and is hindering the country's development.

Let's be politically correct, there's a different mix of cuisine and money there.
By the way, there is information that cashing out and paying bonuses to major European bigwigs, including von der Klein and even the Jewish Narco-Führer, is carried out through the homeland of the herring Kallas.
We will wait for confirmation, as with the investigation into the arrested cashier with Bandera Nazi couriers in Budapest.

[Arkady007]

Well, I read it and thought about it.
Did we also give money for the elections in Bulgaria or did we just watch from the sidelines the EU's movements?
They are not particularly shy about saying that they don’t like this or that candidate and that he should be pushed aside, while ours are increasingly spoiling us with sweets.
Ultimately, we'll be the only ones to blame if the elections don't satisfy the other side. So the question is, why are we constantly hesitating and embarrassed by ourselves?

I am not privy to high-level offices or even business, but from observations it is known that the country of brothers and non-brothers has long been under the cross-use of small-breasted, striped and gayrope.
The Small British have a program, not widely advertised, to allocate funds for the resettlement of part of the population to the mainland in light of the predicted flooding of the islands in the future.
But the main question of the political future of any country is in the hands of big business.
Russia has interests here, but given the high risk of clashes with all players involved, serious doubts arise as to whether the long-term expectations will be justified given the resources spent.

[Arkady007]

Doubts are always present in business.
We need to put our friends on the economic hook, since we don’t know how to do anything else.
Hungary and Slovakia prove this.

Russia has no friends except the DPRK, whose leader and military proved their case by fighting in the same trench.
And there is no friendship in politics, there are only interests.
This is where the interests of the Russian people and the Fatherland must be taken into account and promoted first and foremost, but it turns out that the elite is only concerned with filling their own wallets.

[Sergej1972]

What does Borisov, who has repeatedly led the Bulgarian government, have to do with this? We're talking about the victory of Radev's supporters.

[BAI]

There are no pro-Russians. After all, Bulgarians always fought against Russia in the 20th century.

[Murmur 55]

BAI , but they were not held responsible for it.

[Ilya-spb]

It would be good to conduct an analysis of the reasons for the Bulgarians entering into wars with Russia.

[Incvizitor]

They want, like the Slovaks, to fiercely hate Russia and its people, to encourage the West to transfer weapons by the trainload to the Bandera fascists and also to grab perks from Russia.

— Radev is not welcome in Brussels...
(Relax, Ursula...)

[Soldatov V.]

As long as Bulgaria is in NATO, it's our enemy. How much ammunition and weapons it has transferred to the Banderites, and how much more it will transfer. And to produce all this, it wants cheap oil. Ukraine should have bombed its munitions factories long ago. And Lukoil should be sued for supplying fuel to Ukraine through Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova. Let's see how much this Radev will sing his praises to get our cheap oil.

[Murmur 55]

Soldiers V Or maybe he won't pour in, but will simply send messengers and calmly negotiate in a businesslike manner; I don't rule out this possibility.

[Soldatov V.]

In business terms, I imagine it this way: we stop military supplies to Ukraine and you give us the necessary petroleum products.

[Retired senior lieutenant]

...we stop military supplies to Ukraine, and you give us the necessary petroleum products...

Yeah, they'll promise to redirect arms supplies to Romania or even Poland! Well, the final destination of their weapons will ultimately remain the same - Ukraine.

Since Ursula was tense, it means she will soon run to smear the new prime minister with dirt.

[Murmur 55]

Arthur Grudinin Why didn't she tense up? Let him first demonstrate his worth through actions and deeds, not just statements, BEFORE the elections, and then we'll see who will tense up and who will cave in.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Europe is churning out weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and we're still looking for "pro-Russian" politicians in the EU. What a kindergarten!

[Sebenza]

It would have been childish. Adult men scoured the area and found it. Praises to the Slovaks and Hungarians were regularly sung on the branch. And Vučić's polishing of the Kremlin cobblestones was pure puppy-like delight. They spoke without hesitation, "We will fight with you." How else can you convey to the sick that this is inevitable?

[kill the fascist]

If the Western jerks don't like it enough, they won't recognize the election results or just cancel them. Is this the first time?

[Viktor Sergeev]

I wonder what kind of changes they're planning to continue in the PPDB party? "Party of Complete A-holes," that's what it stands for. They probably want to introduce a few more positions into the Bulgarian Kama Sutra, as if Bulgaria were supposed to please the EU. In principle, that's probably the difference between the PPDB and GERB (the positions have already been defined and tested).

[jovanni]

So he was president. So what?

[Sergej1972]

The Bulgarian president is a figurehead with little real power. Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic, and the government is accountable to the parliamentary majority. The only problem is that the weak president is elected by popular vote.

In any case, Progressive Bulgaria's votes are below 50%. This means they'll have to enter into a coalition with someone. And that means they'll have to take their coalition partner's opinion into account. So, it's too early to drink the champagne. We'll see how it all ends.

[Sergej1972]

You're not taking into account that the parties that didn't pass the 4% threshold collectively received 9%, plus 2% who voted against all parties. These 11% will be divided among the parties that passed the 4% threshold, proportional to the number of votes cast for them.

It's bad for women to stress. As a gynecologist, she should know this. It's time to calm down, you've taken the helm – step aside, let someone else take the helm! Especially since there's already a candidate, and one that will make Brussels shudder – Orbán will stir up their swamp!
