Bulgaria's Political Turmoil Continues with Fifth Inconclusive Election.
TL;DR Summary
Bulgaria faces tough coalition talks after its fifth inconclusive election in two years. The centre-right GERB party led by former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov won 26.5% of votes, while the pro-Western reformist bloc led by We Continue the Change (PP) had 24.6%. The prolonged political deadlock, caused mainly by personal animosity among leaders of the two main blocs, has already forced the country to delay its target date for adopting the euro, and it has yet to approve a budget bill for 2023.
