Ivelin Mihaylov, the leader of the Velichie party, addressed the early parliamentary election results in a statement published on his official Facebook page on Monday. Mihaylov characterized the outcome as fair. According to the reported figures, with 96.41% of the tally sheets processed, Velichie secured 3.12% of the vote, remaining below the 4% threshold required for entry into the National Assembly.
The leader stated that achieving representation at that percentage level would be unproductive. Instead, Mihaylov suggested that it would be more beneficial for the votes to support Rumen Radev, allowing him to assume greater responsibility. Consequently, the party plans to pivot its focus, becoming a platform primarily for its committed members and core supporters.
Mihaylov criticized the current political climate, noting that the power of oligarchs has increased. He contrasted this with the party’s original goal of fostering a society where knowledgeable individuals could thrive alongside ordinary citizens. He asserted that, moving forward, Velichie would focus solely on protecting its electorate rather than broader public interests.
Furthermore, the leader confirmed that Velichie would not challenge Rumen Radev in the upcoming presidential elections. Mihaylov announced that the party would undergo comprehensive economic and political restructuring aimed at improving the welfare of its members. He clarified that his subsequent actions are personal citizen efforts, rather than official party representation, signaling
