Bulgaria will hold elections in 2026, after the attempt to establish a new government failed following the resignation of the previous one due to protests. The Alliance for Rights and Freedoms returned the task of forming a new government to President Rumen Radev due to a lack of support. The president declared: «Then we will go to elections.» On Monday, the mandate was granted to the GERB party and to the interim Prime Minister, Rosen Zhelyazkov, who returned it.
