Bulgaria elections: Who’s running and what’s at stake?

Bulgaria will hold snap parliamentary elections on April 19, its eighth in five years, following the December resignation of Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov's government. The political crisis emerged after widespread anticorruption protests and disputes over budget proposals. Weak coalitions and declining democratic trust have plagued the 6.5 million-person European Union nation.
