Politics of Bulgaria Political parties Elections

People's Voice (Bulgarian: Глас народен) is a political party in Bulgaria.

The party was established in 2013 prior to the Bulgarian parliamentary election, 2013 and achieved relative success by winning 1,34% of the total vote, finishing in 13th place with just a few weeks of campaigning and little to no financial support. Leader of the party is popular Bulgarian musician Svetoslav Vitkov. The party became the first to open its list for the European Parliament election in 2014 to all people willing to participate. Following a series of events, including public debates on European policies, lie-detector test and Facebook voting, the party announced its 17 candidates with most of them never being involved in politics before. The top two candidates were well-known Bulgarian Academy of Sciences member and activist Hristo Lafchiev and political scientist and renowned football fan Aleksandar Alekov. The party became known for its provocative, fun and socially open rhetoric, including penalty shoot-outs with other politicians and scandalous video clips.

The party won 9th place at the European Parliament election, 2014 (Bulgaria) with 1,002% of the vote.^[1]
