Continue the Change party has proposed establishing a joint parliamentary alliance with Democratic Bulgaria, framed under the slogan “Strong Bulgaria in a Strong Europe.” The proposal outlines a framework for joint action on several key national and European priorities. The alliance aims to collaborate on issues including strengthening the rule of law, ensuring institutional independence, combating corruption, and moving beyond what it terms the “Borissov-Peevski model.” Furthermore, the agreement emphasizes the nomination of a joint candidate for the presidency of Bulgaria, alongside commitments to judicial reform, modernizing public administration, fostering sustainable economic growth, and increasing incomes. The structure mandates clear coordination rules, including joint legislative initiatives and regular meetings to align positions on national and local matters.
Amid ongoing internal discussions regarding the maintenance of a single parliamentary group, the proposal was advanced. While the objective remains a unified front for protecting democratic values and strengthening Bulgaria’s European trajectory, the process involves nuances. Continue the Change leader stated that while the formations will run together in upcoming elections—including presidential and local contests—two separate parliamentary groups may be registered in the National Assembly.
This structural approach, according to the party, is intended to better represent the political spectrum, addressing concerns that certain voters view the policies of the individual parties differently. Despite the procedural separation, the commitment remains to a joint effort. Both parties affirm their readiness to work together through this joint alliance to advance Bulgaria’s political stability and development.
