President Rumen Radev vetoed the Electoral Code. He said this in a speech to the people.

“All the changes have the clear objective of guaranteeing the official victory of the ruling party in the elections. It gives way to clear legal proposals and creates preconditions for fair elections and their challenge.

“Taking responsibility for the machines out of power and transferring it to the CEC means escaping the responsibility of parliament,” said the head of state.

“The repeal of the legal prohibition of a national referendum to resolve matters that are the competence of the Supreme National Assembly unjustifiably mixes two forms of civic participation in government.


The three months of thousands of protests for the resignation are testimony to a deep crisis in democracy. Polls record the collapse of public confidence in government Elections are the foundation of any democracy and it depends on its fairness and transparency.

The refusal of the authorities to listen to the voice of the citizens prolongs the agony, ”added Radev.
