Bulgarians head to the polls on Sunday to elect their next president, a vote shaped by drone attacks on Black Sea shipping and growing economic hardship. The election is scheduled for Sunday and will determine the country's head of state.
This election represents the first major test for the Moscow‑friendly Progressive Bulgaria party, which aims to leverage the unrest. The vote will be the first major test for the party as it seeks to capitalize on the economic and security challenges.
Authorities have heightened security while citizens confront rising costs and limited resources as they prepare to cast their ballots.
