Elections edit
2007 edit
The 2007 European election was Bulgaria's first election since joining the European Union on 1 January 2007 and was held on 20 May 2007.
The top two parties scored 5 seats each; Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria and Bulgarian Socialist Party, followed by the Movement for Rights and Freedoms with four, Ataka with three, and National Movement Simeon II (NDSV) with one. It was considered likely that the result of the election would cause a major political crisis in Bulgaria, due to the expected weak results of the National Movement.[1]
