Zum vierten Mal innerhalb von zwei Jahren wählt Bulgarien am kommenden Sonntag ein neues Parlament. Die große Frage ist, ob danach endlich eine stabile Regierung gebildet werden kann, die das Land aus der Krise zu führen vermag. Wenige Tage nach der Wahl, am Donnerstag, 6. Oktober um 10.00 Uhr, werden wir mit verschiedenen Expert:innen das Wahlergebnis, die Stimmung in Bulgarien sowie die Aussichten für die Regierungsbildung analysieren. Die Podiumsdiskussion in englischer Sprache findet am Institut für den Donauraum und Mitteleuropa statt, kann aber auch online mitverfolgt werden. Nähere Informationen findet ihr hier

For the fourth time in two years, Bulgarian citizens will head to the polls as political instability continues to reign in the country. After the loss of the majority and of the vote of no-confidence in June 2022 to the coalition that ruled only briefly, the future composition of the government will again be decided during a turbulent time for the whole of Europe. In addition to domestic issues such as corruption, the connection between politics and the criminal networks, and the lack of reforms, the country faces both pan-European and regional challenges. Rising energy prices, a highly fragmented social and political landscape as well as strained relations with neighbouring countries contribute to the deepening of the two-year political crisis. How did the fourth attempt to form a parliament go and what results did the election bring? What conflicts can we anticipate within the new coalition and can we finally count on a stable government? The post-election situation and expected developments on the political future of Bulgaria will be presented by experts during a hybrid discussion.
 

In cooperation with the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe – IDM and the Political Academy of the ÖVP
