Recent polling data reveals that a political initiative tied to former Bulgarian President Rumen Radev is currently leading with 32.7% support among likely voters for the parliamentary elections scheduled in April. This significant backing positions Radev's project ahead of the center-right party Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB), which sits at 20.4%, indicating a growing favor for Radev's populist approach among the electorate.

As the electoral landscape unfolds, the race for third place remains competitive, with the liberal coalition Continuing the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (WCC-DB) at 10.9% and the centrist Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) closely trailing at 10.5%. Meanwhile, the right-leaning party Revival (Vazrazhdane) occupies the fifth position with 7.8%, successfully securing a probable seat above the electoral threshold. These figures represent a shifting political dynamic within Bulgaria as parties realign based on voter sentiment and emerging socio-political issues.

Rumen Radev's party is likely to align with the rising wave of national-conservative governments across Central and Eastern Europe. This alignment indicates not just a local phenomenon but could also reflect broader trends regarding sovereignty and national identity, influencing regional cooperation and the EU's stance on various issues. Radev's opposition to the Istanbul Convention further underscores the ideological divides shaping Bulgaria's future political direction.
