by Norbert Beckmann-Dierkes, Borislaw Wankow

GERB forms government with three partners under Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov

The political crisis in Bulgaria, which has been ongoing for several years with constantly changing governments and frequent new elections, could be over for the time being. On 16 January 2025, the Bulgarian parliament elected a coalition government consisting of several parties and party coalitions: ‘Citizens for a European Development of Bulgaria - Union of Democratic Forces’ (GERB-SDS, both EPP), ‘Bulgarian Socialist Party - United Left’ (BSP-OL), the party ‘There Is Such a People’ (ITN) and the ‘Alliance for Rights and Freedoms’ (APS), which may show a way out of the vicious circle in which the country finds itself.
