Balgarianovinite.com Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (CC-DB) will seek to test the resolve of Bulgaria’s next parliament with a package of more than 20 anti-corruption laws, according to Ivaylo Mirchev, co-chair of the CC-DB-affiliated Yes, Bulgaria party. In an interview with Capital.bg published Tuesday and also quoted by the Yes, Bulgaria press office, Mirchev said the coalition will be entering the legislature with a ready plan to dismantle what he called the “state capture model” linked to GERB leader Boyko Borissov and Movement for Rights and Freedoms leader Delyan Peevski.
He argued that pledges to raise pensions and wages without addressing systemic corruption are not credible.
The proposed measures include a new Judicial System Act introducing revised procedures for appointing the Supreme Judicial Council, as well as curbs on the powers of the chief prosecutor. The package also targets corruption risks in healthcare, public services and infrastructure spending, and foresees removing privileges for senior officials and revising the Election Code. Further reforms focus on restructuring the security services and streamlining the state administration, alongside a stated goal of maintaining a balanced budget.
According to Mirchev, these proposals are intended as a practical test of political will rather than an ultimatum, measuring whether parliamentary forces can unite around concrete steps for institutional reform.
Mirchev also criticized Rumen Radev, the former president who now leads the Progressive Bulgaria coalition, which is tipped as the favourite to win the April 19 elections, accusing him of inconsistent positions on Bulgaria’s geopolitical orientation, particularly regarding ties with Russia. He argued that the direction of governance will depend on whether a reform majority can be formed around specific legislative actions, rather than campaign rhetoric alone.
Capital.bg has also run an interview with Boyko Borissov and has announced an upcoming one with Continue the Change leader Assen Vassilev. They said that Rumen Radev has turned down their interview requests.
