A new political crisis is emerging in Bulgaria, where the government led by Prime Minister Rosen Jeleznikov will face a vote of no confidence on December 11, following massive street protests. Thousands of Bulgarians are demanding the resignation of the cabinet, accusing it of not taking action against corruption, while the country is preparing to join the eurozone on January 1, 2026. The protesters, who used lasers to project messages such as "Resignation" and "Mafia out" on the Parliament building, are calling for reforms in the judicial system. Although the government recently withdrew the budget plan for 2026, the protests continue, reflecting deep divisions in society. Former Prime Minister Boiko Borissov stated that coalition partners will not resign before joining the euro, but the opposition argues that the transition to the single currency will continue regardless of the government's fate.
