Parliament tanked President Rumen Radev's euro referendum proposal after his office refused to send anyone to defend it, and his press team clapped back, saying lawmakers had eight months to review the plan but never cared about what voters wanted anyway. Speaker Raya Nazaryan tried calling the presidential institution multiple times starting at 8 a.m., but nobody picked up or showed up to make the case.
The referendum would have asked Bulgarians if they supported adopting the euro in 2026. Radev already took this fight to the Constitutional Court back in May after former Speaker Natalia Kiselova rejected his referendum request as inadmissible, and the court agreed to hear part of his complaint in June.
