Bulgaria has voted for a radical change. By handing a landslide victory to Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria party, voters have chosen a leader who promises to end years of political chaos while pivoting toward a more pro-Russian foreign policy. With 44.5% of the vote and an absolute majority in parliament, Radev is now set to become Prime Minister, a move that could significantly challenge the European Union’s stance on energy and the conflict in Ukraine.
