Rumen Radev was notably absent from consultations held with President Yotova.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has proposed Mihaela Dotsava as the candidate for Speaker of the National Assembly, an announcement made by Slavi Vasilev of Progressive Bulgaria.

Following recent elections, Bulgaria, an EU member, is expected to achieve political stability, with high expectations for President Rumen Radev, though some compare him to Viktor Orban.
A recent poll indicates that half of Poles do not want Karol Nawrocki to become Prime Minister. This comes as the Progressive Bulgaria party, formed by former President Rumen Radev, won parliamentary elections in Bulgaria.
