Iliana Yotova wins the presidential election in Bulgaria, portraying herself as the 'president of peace'

"We are choosing between war and peace," Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev told voters ahead of Sunday's presidential election runoff between incumbent President Iliana Yotova, who opposes military aid to Ukraine and favors dialogue with Russia, and former caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov, who is regarded as staunchly pro-European and pro-Ukrainian. With these words, it was clear that Sunday's runoff had turned into a kind of referendum on the country's foreign policy and stance on the war in Ukraine . Now that the official results are in and it is clear that Iliana Yotova won the election decisively by 57.6% to Gyurov's 39.5%, Radev claims that Bulgarians have chosen peace.
