"The voter turnout was appallingly low." This was what leader of "Vazrazhdane" Kostadin Kostadinov said in a video message on Facebook. According to him, the fact that the turnout for the European Parliament elections was higher than that for a national parliament, as analysts predicted before, indicates a serious problem. 

"Everything can be falsified, but voter turnout cannot be falsified, Kostadinov said. "Today, the Bulgarian people gave a resounding slap to the state. With a bit over 30 percent of voter turnout, they literally said that this state is not theirs and this is perhaps the most serious thing we have to think about." Kostadinov commented.
