Radev Resigns, Aims to End Bulgaria's Political Crisis

Radev Resigns, Aims to End Bulgaria's Political Crisis

Rumen Radev, a former air force commander and ex-president of Bulgaria, has resigned to form a new party and run in the upcoming elections.

He wants to end the political crisis that has been going on since 2020.

Many people in Bulgaria are tired of corruption and a small group of politicians who have been in power for a long time.

Radev is popular, but he faces big challenges, like questions about his views on Russia and Ukraine, and a gas deal that caused losses.

He might need to work with other parties to win the election and make changes.
