Russian Duma Official Says Bulgaria Election Shows Society Fatigue from Russophobia

Leonid Slutsky, head of the State Duma's committee on international affairs and LDPR Party leader, said the electoral victory of Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria party demonstrates society's fatigue from Russophobic policies harming national interests. He noted growing fragmentation among 'sovereigntists' in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, and Hungary, calling it a response to EU leadership's alleged push toward military confrontation with Russia.

Bulgaria Election: Radev's Party Set for Runaway Victory, May End Years of Instability

Former President Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria party is set for a decisive victory in Bulgaria's parliamentary election, with exit polls showing 44% support versus GERB's 12.5%. The win could end five years of political instability that produced eight elections. Radev, a eurosceptic former fighter pilot who opposes military aid to Ukraine, may now form a majority government or need to compromise with pro-European parties.

Exit polls show President Rumen Radev's Progressive Bulgaria party winning 37% of the vote, more than double former PM Boiko Borisov's GERB at 16%. The election was called after a controversial budget sparked mass demonstrations. Radev, 62, a former air force commander, stepped down in January after nine years as president to form his new movement, promising to combat corruption and restore stable government.

Russia-Aligned Radev on Track for Emphatic Bulgaria Election Win

Rumen Radev, Bulgaria's Russia-aligned former president, is projected to win approximately 40% of the vote in Sunday's election — more than double any other party. The 62-year-old former air force commander may need coalition partners to form a majority, potentially choosing between pro-EU reformists (14%) or a pro-Moscow bloc with Socialists (4%) and nationalists (5%). This is Bulgaria's eighth election in five years amid political instability.
