SOFIA (Reuters) - Bulgarians head to the polls on Sunday in the seventh snap election inside four years as the country's fractured political parties struggle to form a stable coalition and voters become increasingly apathetic about the outcome.
Bulgaria, the poorest member of the European Union and one of its most corrupt states, has been plagued by revolving-door governments since anti-graft protests in 2020 helped topple a coalition led by the centre-right GERB party.
