Bulgarians were voting April 4 to elect a new parliament, with Prime Minister Boyko Borisov’s centre-right party tipped to finish first although it may struggle to find coalition partners. Turnout is predicted to be low because of the coronavirus pandemic, with Bulgaria battling a third wave of infections that has seen hospital admissions spike. Support for Mr. Borisov’s GERB party — in power almost uninterrupted for close to a decade — has been eroded by a series of scandals, with protests last year accusing the government of protecting oligarchs.More Related News
