Former members of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) set up a coalition called Left. The formation comprises: Rumen Petkov of ABV, Maya Manolova of Rise Up, Tatyana Doncheva of Movement 21, Georgi Kadiev of Normal State, as well as BSP members who were expelled from the party such as Valeri Zhablyanov.

Kostadin Paskalev declared that the coalition was the result of dialogue within the political left started four months ago, and went on to add that BSP chair Kornelia Ninova had turned down this dialogue even though she had been invited.

Maya Manolova announced the coalition’s priorities: upholding peace, protecting working people, the vulnerable, the young, pensioners, SMEs, countering the monopolies and corruption, and an immediate increase in the minimum wage.
