Reload Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Презареди България, romanized: Prezaredi Balgariya; formerly Bulgaria Uncensored, Bulgarian: България без цензура) is a populist political party in Bulgaria.[6]
History
The party was founded by former TV host
eurosceptic group of European Conservatives and Reformists.[4]
The BWC-VMRO coalition did not last, however, and VMRO left to team up with other nationalist parties for the
LIDER to run in the upcoming elections.[9]
The party made contradicting comments on the form of government. In June 2014, Barekov declared his support for the restoration of the
Tsar of Bulgaria.[10] He vowed that should his party win a general election, he would introduce referendums on a number of issues, including the restoration of the monarchy.[10] On other occasions he called for a people's republic.[2]
Despite holding 15 seats in the Assembly, Reload Bulgaria chose not to compete in the 2017 parliamentary elections after being initially refused a name change, among other reasons.[11]
