Mass abstention in Bulgarian elections
The July 11 parliamentary elections in Bulgaria highlighted the deep political crisis in the eastern European Union state. Slavi Trifonov’s protest party ITN (“There Is Such a People”), which emerged victorious, is supported by fewer than one in 10 eligible voters.

This result exemplifies the political situation in Eastern Europe, where the majority of the population harbors deep mistrust of the entire political elite.
Overall voter turnout was only 42 percent. Even in the capital Sofia, not even half of those eligible to vote went to the polls.
