The Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (Bulgarian: Алтернатива за българско възраждане, romanized: Alternativa za balgarsko vazrazhdane, АБВ) is a centre-left[2] political party in Bulgaria. ABV, the romanized party's initials in Bulgarian, are the first three letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, equivalent to ABC.[3] A social-democratic party,[1] it holds pro-European[4] and "quasi-nationalist social conservatism" views.[5]

History[]

The party was founded and is led by Georgi Parvanov, who was the president of Bulgaria from 2002 to 2012, as a splinter from the Bulgarian Socialist Party.[6] In the May 2014 European Parliament election in Bulgaria, the party received 4% of the vote, failing to elect any Member of the European Parliament.[7] In the 2014 Bulgarian parliamentary election, the party received 4.15% of the vote and 11 seats in the National Assembly.[8]
