Russia-aligned Rumen Radev wins landslide in Bulgaria

Rumen Radev, a Russia-aligned former president, scored an emphatic win in Bulgaria's election on Sunday, crushing long-established parties that he accused of being the key enablers of an oligarch-dominated mafia state.
The election was the Balkan country's eighth in five years — amid rolling political crises and fragile coalitions — and 62-year-old former air force commander Radev used his newly created Progressive Bulgaria party to break the impasse.
