🇧🇬 Bulgarian President Rumen Radev announces resignation In an address to the nation, Radev said the caretaker government "is no longer a reliable guarantor of fair elections." He stated that the "final split between Bulgarians and the political class" occurred after parliament refused to hold a referendum on the eurozone entry date. Amid Bulgaria's recent euro adoption, an unpopular 2026 budget law, and the economic situation, large-scale protests erupted across the country. In September, opposition parties submitted a no-confidence vote against the minority government led by Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov.
