For almost a decade, the ruling party in Bulgaria was GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria). In 2021, there were massive nationwide protests against GERB after investigations exposed numerous instances of corruption, embezzlement, and more. Since then, Bulgaria has had 5 different government changes and elections.

We Continue the Change party is a progressive party that emerged in 2021. They heavily campaigned against GERB, making consistent promises that they would never make a coalition with them and that they would continue to expose their wrongdoings. In an unprecedented election in November 2021, We Continue the Change won the elections with 26% of the votes, while GERB was second with 22% of the votes.

After a failed coalition government without GERB, however, We Continue the Change took second place with around a 3 percent difference in the next election, while GERB returned to its placement as the first political party.

Before the election in April 2023, We Continue the Change got into a coalition with Democratic Bulgaria, the only other party that aligned with their views, both having promised to not coalesce with GERB. In April, GERB once again won the elections. After negotiations, GERB and We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria entered a government coalition, citing that there was no other way there could be a government.
