Bulgaria's caretaker PM says elections will be cleanest in years
Published on April 1, 2026.
Bulgian Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov has stated that upcoming elections will be among the country's cleanest in years due to efforts to combat corruption and misinformation. Dozens of people have been arrested in recent weeks linked to alleged vote-buying. The government believes this will have a significant impact on confidence in the institutions of the country. The previous government resigned in December amid street protests over its policies and perceived failure to tackle corruption. This month's snap election will be the eighth in five years for the EU and NATO state amid deep political divisions.
