Abstract
In 2023, Bulgaria saw the first regular, politically accountable, Cabinet after two years of caretaker cabinets following early elections in April. The election saw Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (Grazhdani za evropeysko razvitie na Bulgaria, GERB) emerge as the plurality winner but without a clear majority, and a coalition government between GERB and We Continue the Change–Democratic Bulgaria (PP-DB) materialized. Seen as an artificially cobbled-together creation, the Cabinet faced increasing opposition and two failed no-confidence votes. A constitutional amendment in late 2023 limited the president's power to appoint caretaker cabinets. Bulgaria remained divided on its stance toward Russia and nationalism, and political apathy rose, casting doubt on future stability.
2023 年，保加利亚在 4 月提前举行大选之后，经过两年的看守内阁之后，迎来了第一个正规的、政治上负责任的内阁。在这次选举中，保加利亚欧洲发展公民组织（Grazhdani za evropeysko razvitie na Bulgaria，GERB）以多数票获胜，但未获得明显多数票。内阁被视为人为拼凑的产物，面临越来越多的反对意见，两次不信任投票均以失败告终。2023 年底的宪法修正案限制了总统任命看守内阁的权力。保加利亚在对俄罗斯和民族主义的立场上仍然存在分歧，政治冷漠情绪高涨，使人对未来的稳定性产生怀疑。
