"We Continue the Change" - "Democratic Bulgaria" Confirms Candidates on Their Lists Ahead of 19 April Elections

Minutes before the deadline for registering candidate lists on March 17, We Continue the Change – Democratic Bulgaria (WCC-DB) confirmed the names with which they will enter the upcoming election race.

Nikolay Denkov will head the list in Blagoevgrad. A dispute arose over the participation of Yavor Bozhankov, who will not stand as a candidate. WCC-DB noted that their lists do not include people in whom they do not have trust. Daniel Lorer will also not appear on some of the lists.

WCC-DB highlighted that the lists feature young people, doctors, and experts, along with new faces such as Velislav Velichkov from Justice for All, civic initiative who will be on the list in Sofia 24th Multi-member Constituency (MMC), where the lead candidate is Ivaylo Mirchev. Unofficially, Bozhidar Bozhanov (co-chair of Yes, Bulgaria) and Atanas Atanasov (chair of Democrats for Strong Bulgaria - DSB) will not head any lists.

Nikolay Denkov, "We Continue the Change":
"Yavor Bozhankov is an excellent orator; being able to communicate important things is also valuable. But politics is war, a struggle, and you need to be able to rely on the person next to you. The reason 'We Continue the Change' exists and why we are together with 'Democratic Bulgaria' is that we cannot tolerate corruption in Bulgaria."

Venko Sabrutev, "We Continue the Change":
"Young students, young doctors, and Generation Z are very strongly represented. People with disabilities are also strongly represented, because we cannot talk about their problems without including them on the lists. This is the renewed list."
