Bulgarians head to the polls on Sunday to vote in an election that all sides hope will break five years of political deadlock and dysfunction. Former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov is looking to make a comeback, but he’s trailing in the polls to Rumen Radev, Bulgaria’s Euroskeptic former president and a crusader against corruption.
RT explores how Radev’s rise could spell the end of Bulgarian aid to Ukraine, how the EU is working to stop him, and how Bulgaria’s caretaker prime minister is rushing to sign unpopular deals with Kiev before the vote.
The consequences of the election are likely to extend beyond Bulgaria’s borders.
