Recent History
The Socialist Party, led by Sergei Stanishev, won the latest election in summer 2005, but did not win enough seats to form a government on its own. The liberal Movement for Simeon II (NMS), which led the former coalition, came second and the mostly ethnic Turkish Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) third. Mr Stanishev said that EU membership was his government's top priority, and Bulgaria succeeded in joining the EU in January 2007. He has also promised to intensify the campaign against corruption and organiзed crime. President Georgi Parvanov won a second term in the October 2006 presidential elections. His role is mainly ceremonial.
