Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria previously held 15 seats in parliament but got no seats from the race on May 12.  Some seven months later, on Christmas Day, someone in Blagoevgrad spray-painted a statue of the town’s namesake red and white to resemble Santa Claus. The statue of Dimitar Blagoev, founder of what became the modern-day Bulgarian Communist Party, was already controversial. After coming to power in 1946, the Communist Party banned most religious organizations, appropriated most industry and ruthlessly targeted its political opponents executing an estimated 30,000 without trial.
