Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox political party Bulgarian Rise (Шаблон:Lang-bg; BV) is a national conservative[1] political party in Bulgaria. It was founded on 5 May 2022 by Stefan Yanev, the former caretaker Prime Minister and Defence Minister.[2][3]

Political positions

Some describe the party as both pro-Putin and pro-Russia.[4][5][6][7] Future party leader Yanev was removed from the Petkov Government in March 2022 after he refused to describe the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a war.[8] He launched the party two months later. Despite this, the party backed sending military aid to Ukraine, with the condition that Bulgaria receive modern NATO weaponry in exchange.[9][10] He also called the invasion an act of aggression and stated his support for the sanctions against Russia.[11]

There is little consensus over the party's stances on economic matters. They have been labelled as centre-left,[12] though Yanev himself has said the party is not on the right nor the left.[1]

The party has garnered some criticism for not expressing substantive positions on most political issues.[13]

Structure

The party has one leader, Stefan Yanev. To take part in the 2022 parliamentary snap elections, it allied with four smaller "mandate carrier" parties, Svoboda, Party of the Greens, the Alternative for Bulgarian Revival , the Agrarian People's Union and Union of Free Democrats.[14][15][16]

In February 2023, Yanev announced that the party would contest the upcoming elections individually, although members of their previous electoral coalition could participate as part of the 'civic quota' or as list members.[17]

Relations with BSP

Following the 2023 local elections, the Socialist Party (BSP) started to meet with like-minded parties to form a 'patriotic centre-left front'. As a part of this, the party claimed it had met with representatives of BV, but Yanev denied this. BSP also met with parties which ran with BV in the 2022 election.[18]
