00:00Bulgaria will on Sunday hold its eighth parliamentary elections in five years,
00:05with former President Roman Radev's new party leading polls in a vote
00:09many hope will end the now chronic political instability.
00:14According to the latest polls, Radev's progressive Bulgaria coalition,
00:19formed in December, leads with 33% support,
00:23positioning him as a key power broker in what is expected to be
00:28another fragmented parliament.
00:30The election follows five years of near-permanent crisis
00:34in which no government has survived a full term.
00:38Instead, the country has cycled through caretaker administrations,
00:43fragile coalitions and short-lived alliances that have often collapsed amid scandal.
00:49The elections also come after that of Hungary,
00:52which ended Prime Minister Viktor Orban's 16-year rule last weekend
00:57and shows that change is possible anywhere in Europe.
01:01But analysts fear Radev, an admirer of Orban,
01:05could be the EU's next disruptor-in-chief.
