In a dramatic political development, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister and the entire cabinet have resigned following weeks of intense protests led largely by Generation Z, demanding accountability and an end to corruption.
The protests, driven by young activists and students, gained momentum across major cities as demonstrators called for transparency, judicial reforms, and the resignation of senior officials accused of corruption and abuse of power. Social media played a key role in mobilizing crowds and sustaining public pressure on the government.
Facing mounting unrest and declining public trust, the prime minister announced the resignation, acknowledging the protesters’ demands and the need to restore political stability. The move marks a significant victory for youth-led civic action and highlights the growing political influence of Gen-Z worldwide.
Political analysts say the resignations could lead to early elections or the formation of an interim government, while observers note that the events in Bulgaria reflect a broader global trend of young people challenging entrenched political systems.
The developments have sparked international attention, with many praising the peaceful protests as a powerful example of democratic engagement and youth empowerment.
