Bulgarians headed to the polls on Sunday for the seventh general election in just over three years, with concerns mounting over the country's political instability. Voter fatigue and disillusionment with politicians have paved the way for radical political voices, fueled by Moscow's disinformation campaigns, to gain traction and erode public trust in the democratic process.
The ongoing cycle of elections has taken a toll on Bulgaria's economy and foreign policy. The country risks losing out on crucial EU recovery funds due to a lack of reforms, while its aspirations for full integration into the Schengen area and the eurozone face further delays.
