Just another "savior" that my idiot compatriots will vote in.
We have a history of doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Either you are trolling or you are vastly overestimating the power of the EU to intervene in the internal politics of member states.

You saw what Hungary did. Pay attention.
I honestly have no clue how anyone could be pro-Russian these days, aside from Trump, who is clearly compromised, and a moron.

Money. A lot of money. Russians will pay a lot for an opportunity to block/veto something in EU. And for politicians in smaller countries that could be the only way to earn a lot.

And that’s why Serbia should not never be member of the EU. We have enough countries with Stockholm syndrome, we don’t need more who are openly aligned with russia.

Bulgaria is in a political crisis since 2021. There hasnt been a single government that lasted its full term. It has been a cycle of elections, some makeshift coalitions that fall apart, no confidence vote, schedule of new election.
We have had 8 elections since 2021

In this case? USSR nostalgia + some shared history with the Russo-Turkic wars being propagandized all throught k12 education that "uwu brother Russia singlehandedly saved the Bulgarians from the evil Ottomans and we should be eternally grateful" (and therefore eternally bootlick them). Of course completely glazing over the times "brother Russia" was acting against BG's interests.

There's no new president in Hungary. There will be a new PM. Maybe you don't know what you're talking about.

If you think popular pro-Russian politicians are only a problem in Eastern Europe, then allow me to introduce you to France's Marin LePen, America's Trump, and every high ranking member of Germany's AfD.

Austria also has its share.
Putin has spread a lot of money around political circles during the course of Russia's hybrid war on the West.

It's ironic that a few years ago Western Europeans were portrayed as naive idiots who fell for Russia's scheme, while Eastern Europeans were highlighted as the positive counter-example. It seems many of these people are just as stupid as we are.

The Russian propaganda machine just didn’t focus as many efforts on Eastern Europe back then.

You're probably right.
However, the fact that they changed to be pro-Russian after the war began and despite their experience with Soviet Russia, is actually even worse than the long-standing positive view of Russia held by some Western Europeans who are far removed from Russia and have no experience with it.

He isn’t pro-RU though, he just isn’t pro-Brussels to death. Media has to stop picturing everyone as black or white (btw I’m not saying vote for him, I think that whether he truly is good or bad won’t make a single difference in how this country’s politics work i.e., corrupted to the bone)
