Bulgaria: Citizens at the polls again – For the second time in three months

Bulgarian citizens eligible to vote are being called to the polls today, for the second time in three months, to elect a new parliament, following three failed attempts to form a government.

The 6.7 million voters will decide whether there will be a new majority in the parliament of the poorest member state of the European Union capable of governing.

It is possible that a Parliament with a fragmented political power will emerge from the polls again.

Forming a self-governing government would be a difficult task if the parties rallying against 62-year-old Borisov, who monopolized power in Bulgaria over the past decade, did not secure a majority of seats.
