20% of Bulgarians expect the new year to be better than 2022, indicates a survey by Gallup International. 44% say they are pessimistic about the future, and 27% believe 2023 will be the same as 2022.

Compared to the average levels in the world, Bulgarians have retained their usual pessimism. The continuing political instability and the sense of uncertainty in this country have led to the highest levels of negativism in decades. Though negative attitudes remain high, their upward trend has at least been checked, comments Kancho Stoychev, president of the sociological agency.
