The president and the provisional government are visible in the pre-election environment with critical statements towards previous government’s decisions. The campaign tone has been often divisive, further politicising the issues of gas and oil prices and with occasional accusations of corruption.

The media landscape is vibrant. Television and internet-based outlets are the prime sources of news, followed by social networks, most notably Facebook and TikTok. Print media has largely moved online, while investigative, data-driven journalism, even though reaching smaller audiences, upholds a pluralistic, fact-based debate and calls for political accountability. The Bulgarian National Radio and Bulgarian National Television (BNT) are among the most trusted outlets, the interim report reads.
