Bulgaria: Bulgaria's GERB Leads Socialists by Large Margin, Pollsters Claim

Bulgaria’s center-right GERB party leads the rival Socialists by a comfortable margin ahead of the early general elections on May 12, according to the latest poll.

The poll, conducted by the MBMD agency, suggests that some 28.3% of voters would support GERB, while the Bulgarian Socialist Party has 18.7%.

The ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms and the ultranationalist Ataka are each supported by 5.2%.

The Bulgaria for Citizens movement of former EU Commissioner Meglena Kuneva is projected to garner 4.1%, which means that the party is likely to enter the next Parliament.

The nationalist National Front for Salvation of Bulgaria also stands a chance, according to MBMD.

At the end of March, a scandal flared among Bulgarian pollsters over MBMD poll results, giving a huge lead to GERB (30%) against BSP (16%).
