Liberal Success in Bulgarian Elections (24/05/2007)The liberals have led a successful campaign in Bulgaria’s first European elections, which took place on 20th May, where more than 200 candidates were campaigning for the 18 MEP positions available. Despite a rather disappointing turnout of around 30%, ELDR member parties, the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) and the National Movement of Simeon II (NMSII) earned a total of 5 seats in the European Parliament. MRF achieved 4 seats with the election of Filiz Hyusmenova, Mariela Baeva, Metin Kazak and professor Vladko Paniotov and NMSII obtained one seat with the election of Biliana Raeva. ELDR Party President Annemie Neyts offered her congratulations to the two liberal parties noting the results emphasise that liberals are seen as leaders on the European stage and in representing Bulgaria in the European Parliament. Commenting on the elections, Mrs Neyts stated “these elections are a significant step in the integration of Bulgaria into the EU and represent an important victory for liberalism in Bulgaria and across the Union.” |
