⚠️ Heads up: this article is from our "experimental era" — a beautiful mess of enthusiasm ✨, caffeine ☕, and user-submitted chaos 🤹. We kept it because it’s part of our journey 🛤️ (and hey, everyone has awkward teenage years 😅).
Bulgaria is at the brink of a potential snap election, marking the sixth in just over three years, as the country's two main political parties failed to renew a unity government aimed at resolving political turmoil. This turbulence not only poses a threat to Bulgaria's delayed euro adoption next year but also may impede much-needed military aid to Ukraine, especially with pro-Russia and nationalist forces gaining ground. The absence of a party with a majority in parliament may necessitate a national vote, possibly as soon as June.
