| Bulgaria's pro-EU president wins ballot |
| 2006-10-30 |
| Bulgaria's leftist President Georgi Parvanov has won a second five-year term with a landslide victory over a nationalist who opposes the country's entry into the European Union next year. Parvanov won 74.4 per cent of the vote in a second-round ballot, official results showed, with 73.2 per cent counted. Far behind with 25.6 per cent was Volen Siderov, leader of the nationalist Attack party, who campaigned on an undemocratic, anti-minority platform not compatible with the EU. |
