Virus pandemic overshadows Bulgarian parliamentary election Veselin Toshkov ,
SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) After months of nationwide anti-government protests over corruption, stalled reforms and a stagnating economy in the European Union’s poorest member state, Bulgarians are gearing up for a parliamentary election overshadowed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The election is widely predicted to produce a fragmented parliament that will struggle to elect a new government, but the ruling party of Prime Minister Boyko Borissov may still end up as the biggest party in the chamber.
Around 6.7 million eligible voters will start casting their ballots Sunday morning to elect 240 lawmakers.
Borissov’s run for a new term his fourth in a decade could succeed, as his center-right GERB party is currently tipped by analysts to win. They note that the opposition remains fragmented and also that during a crisis, voters prefer the status quo.
