Bulgarian Ex-President Radev Takes Lead Ahead of Snap Election

A political bloc led by Bulgaria’s former President Rumen Radev could win a snap parliamentary election planned for April, according to an opinion poll.

Any faction that the country’s most-popular politician decides to back could count on the support from more than a quarter of decided voters, a survey by the Market Links pollster and the private bTV channel showed on Monday. That would translate into about 10 percentage point lead over Gerb, currently Bulgaria’s biggest party.
