The "Progressive Bulgaria" coalition, whose leader is President (2017-2026) Rumen Radev, presented its logo. However, Facebook users immediately revealed that it is almost the same as that of the British program RISE: East of England. A wave of jokes arose on social networks, and some of the most active Zevzeks even suggest that the logo be reported.
Rumen Radev's project was registered to participate in the CEC for the upcoming snap parliamentary elections on April 19 minutes before 3:00 p.m. on Monday. The name of the formation with which he will appear in the early vote is "Progressive Bulgaria". It includes three formations: PP Social Democrats, PP Social Democratic Party and PP Our People Movement.
The documents were submitted to the Central Election Commission by the co-chairs of the coalition “Progressive Bulgaria“ Galab Donev and Dimitar Stoyanov, as well as by Petar Vitanov, Elena Noneva, chairwoman of PP “Political Movement Social Democrats“, Todor Barbolov, chairwoman of PP “Social Democratic Party“ and Atanas Kalchev, chairwoman of PP “Movement Our People“.
