- 2026PP-DB candidate · 23rd + 24th districts
First time on the list. Arrested twice in Russia for protesting Putin's regime and supporting Navalny. Today I work in the European Parliament. I am ready to carry the same direction into the Bulgarian one.
"Bulgaria needs a new generation without dependencies on the past, ready to defend democracy without compromise."
I grew up between Bulgaria and Russia. At 19 I went to my first protest — in Moscow, against the rigging of the local elections. After Navalny's poisoning I went back out, was detained twice and fined 200 euros.
Today I work at the European Parliament as an advisor to Sergey Lagodinsky, deputy chair of the European Greens. My focus: foreign policy, defence, industry, digital regulation, rule of law, and the future of the European Union.
On 1 December 2025 I held up a "GEN Z IS COMING" placard at the square outside Parliament in Sofia. Now I say it from the inside — as a PP-DB candidate for the 23rd and 24th Sofia districts.
Bulgaria needs a new generation with no dependencies on the past — ready to defend democracy without compromise. That is why I am here.
Platform
Five priorities. No compromises.
Stop the corruption and the lawlessness. From the protests — into Parliament.
- 01
Against the Borisov–Peevski–Sarafov model.
Just as during the protests, I will fight to dismantle the Peevski–Borisov model, remove Sarafov, and push through deep judicial reform. Bulgaria will not be free as long as its judiciary is captured. The time of the pigs is running out — whether there is accountability and change is up to us.
- 02
End the theft of EU funds.
I will fight to make sure every euro reaches people, not corruption pots. EU funds are for development, not for party rings — so I will insist on strict oversight, transparency, and accountability in Bulgaria and in Brussels. I will also work to preserve and expand Magnitsky sanctions against everyone who sustains the corruption model in Bulgaria.
- 03
A national strategy for the return of Bulgarians.
Bulgaria has no future if it keeps losing its people. That is why I will work for a national strategy for their return — with incentives, simplified procedures, and real opportunities for growth. The state must encourage return, because this is a matter of survival and growth.
- 04
A full overhaul of youth policy.
A paid-internships law, more scholarships, and a new, modern environment for students in Sofia and across Bulgaria. It is not normal for Studentski Grad to look like Sunny Beach! Young people are Bulgaria's future and they need perspective and growth here at home.
- 05
Strong foreign policy, defence, and a leading role for Bulgaria in the EU.
My work in the European Parliament has shown how underused Bulgaria's potential in the EU is. I will push for a modernised defence, a strong foreign policy, and a stronger MFA — with more resources and a strategy against threats to national security, including from the Kremlin. Bulgaria must be more visible and influential, support its diaspora in Ukraine and Moldova, and develop its own soft power.
