Alegeri prezidențiale în Bulgaria. O luptă strânsă între „președinta păcii” și candidatul pro-occidental

Bulgarians are voting in a closely contested presidential runoff between Iliana Iotova, advocating for peace with Russia, and pro-Western candidate Andrey Gyurov. Iotova, the incumbent, aims to become the first female president, while Gyurov criticizes her stance on Ukraine. The election reflects deep divisions in Bulgaria regarding relations with Russia amid rising tensions in the Black Sea. Low voter turnout marked the first round, with expectations for increased participation in the second. Allegations of state resource misuse for campaigning have emerged, but the Electoral Commission dismissed these claims.
