Bulgaria's political landscape sees Prime Minister Rumen Radev asserting greater control, reportedly consolidating power over numerous municipalities without elections and reaffirming his commitment to a 'brutal crackdown' on corruption. This comes as presidential candidate Gyurov frames the upcoming election as crucial for national development, while Boyko Borisov's GERB party signals a strategic shift towards conservatism and business-focused policies.
In legal news, a State Agency for National Security (DANS) employee, previously accused of espionage, has successfully sued the prosecution for 60,000 Bulgarian Leva, marking a notable outcome in a high-profile case. Concurrently, the 'Petrohan' case will not proceed to court, with legal proceedings officially terminated.
Locally, Sofia plans to implement a new policy requiring property developers to invest in public infrastructure, aiming to ensure new constructions contribute to community amenities. Separately, a 50-meter section of a street in Varna was destroyed by a landslide, and people with disabilities are protesting in Sofia to advocate for their rights.
