Bulgaria Progresista (en búlgaro: Прогресивна България, lit. 'Progresivna Bŭlgariya', PB) es una coalición política y partido político de centroizquierda nacionalista en Bulgaria compuesta por tres partidos políticos.

La coalición se presentó de manera oficial el 2 de marzo de 2026.^[10]

Historia

Formación

El 2 de marzo de 2026, se presentaron ante la Comisión Electoral Central de Bulgaria los documentos de la coalición "Bulgaria Progresista". La coalición incluía a los siguientes partidos: el Movimiento Político "Socialdemócratas", liderado por Elena Nóneva; el Partido Socialdemócrata, liderado por Todor Barbolov; y el Movimiento Nuestro Pueblo, liderado por Atanas Kalchev. El propio Radev no presentó los documentos; lo hicieron el ex primer ministro interino Galab Donev y el ex ministro de Defensa Dimitar Stoyanov.^[11]^[12]^[13] Se anunció que Radev no formaría parte del liderazgo de Bulgaria Progresista; en su lugar, Donev y Stoyanov se convertirían en copresidentes, así como líderes de los tres partidos que entregaron los docoumentos del mandato.^[10]

Ideología

En su publicación de Facebook, Radev señaló que su coalición es "una respuesta a las expectativas de los búlgaros de desmantelar el modelo de corrupción oligárquica".^[10] La politóloga búlgara Antoaneta Hristova afirmó que la coalición muestra un perfil político de centroizquierda y socialdemócrata. Bulgaria progresista se ha pronunciado en contra de la adopción del euro en 2026 y se opone a las sanciones contra la Federación Rusa.^[14] El líder del partido, Radev, así como la propia coalición, han sido descritos como prorrusos.^[15]^[16]
