Opposition Leader Rumen Radev Rally In Sofia
Text reading "We are rady. We can! We will suceed" is seen at a Progressive Bulgaria party rally on the last evening of campaigning in Sofia, Bulgaria on 16 April, 2026. Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria party leads polls with a wide margin with its main promise of putting an end to corruption. Skeptics worry Radwv’s close ties to Russia will make him the Europe’s “next Viktor Orban”. (Photo by Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto)
