Bulgarians say they hope for a stable government at last as they head to the polls. The EU's poorest Member State is traditionally close to Moscow but has been divided by the war in Ukraine, which has exacerbated the state's political turmoil.
Is Bulgaria entering a downward spiral or will Sunday's election help end the political turmoil engulfing the country?
Voters cast their ballots in the Bulgarian capital Sofia for the country's third general election in a year. The two previous elections in April and July returned fractured parliaments where parties failed to cobble together a coalition. IMAGES
A new anti-establishment party, We Continue the Change, could be poised to take second place and form an opposition government.
Sofia, Jul 11 (EFE/EPA).- Bulgarians flocked to polls across the country on Sunday to cast their vote in a parliamentary election that will decide whether protest parties can form the next government.Until the polls close at 8:00 PM (5:00PM GMT), voters will be able to choose between 23 parties and alliances, seven fewer than the previous 04 April legislatures, to form the new 240-seat Parliament. Victory will be contested by the conservatives of the Bulgarian Citizens for European Development (GERB), led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, and by There Is Such a People, a political party recently founded by singer and television host Slavi Trifonov.
