Thousands protest Bulgaria’s euro adoption and call for a referendum

  • On June 28, 2025, thousands of protesters assembled in Sofia to oppose Bulgaria's upcoming eurozone entry and called for a public vote to decide the future of the national currency.
  • The protest took place following the European Council's endorsement and the pending approvals from EU bodies, confirming Bulgaria’s entry into the eurozone effective January 1, 2026.
  • The demonstration included various civic organizations and the pro-Russian Vazrazhdane party, whose leader Kostadin Kostadinov described adopting the euro as a loss of national sovereignty.
  • Bulgaria's lev is pegged at a fixed rate of 1 lev to 51 eurocents, and economists say euro adoption will have minimal short-term economic impact.
  • The protests and the upcoming parliamentary no-confidence vote reflect increasing skepticism toward the euro within Bulgaria, driven by ongoing political unrest and worries about losing control over national financial matters.
