Bulgarian non-governmental watchdog organization Spasi Sofia ("Save Sofia") was registered as a party. The leader of the new party, municipal councillor Boris Bonev, had already announced his candidacy for mayor of the capital.

He envisages the formation of a Sofia city government with a non-party administration and decentralisation of local power. Participation in national elections may happen at a later stage, it is possible the party to stand independently, but the common priorities and the unity of the people who want "change for Sofia" are sought, Bonev announced at the founding forum.

"Save Sofia" will be a centrist party, explained Bonev and added that he had met with the leaders of "We Continue the Change" and "Democratic Bulgaria" to jointly run in the local elections, but no decision has been made.
