Radev wins Bulgarian election landslide

Radev's landslide win is seen as a rejection of long-dominant political forces and a mandate to address systemic corruption.

While the victory has been welcomed by the Kremlin, it raises significant questions for the European Union and NATO regarding Bulgaria's future alignment.

Radev has campaigned on an anti-corruption ticket but remains a vocal critic of military support for Ukraine.

The absolute majority achieved by his coalition may finally provide the domestic stability that has eluded the nation since 2021.
