Tension between political leaders and the caretaker government

Published 2026-10-22

In recent days, heightened tension has been observed in Bulgarian political life between the leaders of the main parties and the caretaker government. The exchange of sharp remarks was sparked by statements from Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev, who accused political figures of attempting to influence the cabinet's work.

GERB leader Boyko Borisov responded to claims that he and Delyan Peevski are "nervous" because they can no longer dictate the government's decisions. Borisov rejected these accusations and emphasized that political processes must be conducted according to established order, without shifting responsibility between institutions.

For his part, Delyan Peevski also reacted sharply to the Prime Minister's words. The conflict deepened following a statement by Glavchev from the parliamentary rostrum regarding air travel expenses amounting to 5 million levs. Peevski demanded full transparency regarding these costs and questioned the way state funds are being managed.

These events are sparking a broad public debate regarding the role of the caretaker government and the limits of its power. Citizens are following the situation closely, as disputes between politicians often affect the stability of state institutions ahead of the upcoming elections.

At the moment, the situation remains tense, with further clarifications expected from the government on the issues raised. Political analysts are calling for dialogue and constructive solutions in the interest of the public.
