Radev Wins Bulgaria Election

Radev's victory marks a significant shift in Bulgarian politics, potentially pushing the nation closer to Moscow amid ongoing regional tensions.

The landslide win allows his Progressive Bulgaria party to crush long-dominant political forces and pursue an anti-corruption agenda.

Both the Kremlin and senior Brussels figures have welcomed the result, expressing hope for future cooperation.

The election was the country's eighth in five years, reflecting deep-seated voter desire for stability.
