SOFIA — Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov’s government is likely to fall in a no-confidence vote on Wednesday, removing an administration that vowed to clean up the country’s endemic corruption and took an unusually strong position against Russia.
Petkov only came to power six months ago, ending a tumultuous year of three general elections by forming a rickety four-party coalition in December. The Balkan nation of 7 million now looks liable to slide even deeper into political turmoil, with the possibility of its fourth parliamentary election since April 2021. This could derail the country’s prospects of joining the eurozone in 2024.
