Opposition Leader Rumen Radev Rally In Sofia
Supporters of Rumen Radev and his "Progressive Bulgaria" party are seen ahead of the final campaign rally 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)
