What Happened
Bulgarians voted Sunday in their eighth parliamentary election in five years following December protests that toppled the Conservative government. Left-leaning former president Rumen Radev, leading the Progressive Bulgaria coalition, emerged as frontrunner with polls suggesting 35 percent support. Radev, a former air force general, advocates anti-corruption measures and renewed Russia ties, contrasting with Hungary's recent rejection of Orban's authoritarian policies.
