Paper/Abstract submission

The article examines the political crisis of Bulgarian political society (2021-2023), through the categories of trust and mistrust in politics and their implementation in real politics. Within 24 months, five early parliamentary elections in Bulgaria were held. Analysis is provided on internal (complete mistrust among political actors, non-forming a Cabinet, change of the agenda of the society by the political elite, steps to a new role of Caretaker government and the President, citizens’ electoral participation) and external (the political respond towards the war Ukraine-Russia, the implementation of Bulgaria’s Recovery and Resilience plan, the postponement of Bulgaria's accession to Schengen and the country's preparations for joining the euro area) consequences.
