Blowing whistles and burning red flags and effigies of the ruling Socialist party (BSP), a crowd that swelled to 50,000 smashed all the windows on the ground floor of the Renaissance-style landmark in the center of Sofia. Late Friday evening, President Zhelyu Zhelev made a concession to the protesters when he announced that he would not proceed with plans to form a new Socialist government. Police turned water hoses on the demonstrators, and bloodied and dragged away many of them as they smashed and overturned the cars of the deputy deputies and several jeeps sent by the government to rescue the deputies. Art galleries give demonstrators tea Demonstrators blocked narrow streets nearby and pelted with chunks of ice any Socialist deputy who tried to stop.

Early in 1990, however, the Bulgarian constitution was amended to allow a multiparty system, and in July 1991 a new constitution was approved, establishing Bulgaria as a parliamentary republic. Bulgarian citizens age 18 and older may vote in local and national elections. The president serves as the head of state and is directly elected by the voters to no more than two five-year terms. The head of government is the prime minister, appointed by the president, who presides over the Council of Ministers, the highest administrative body of the Bulgarian government.

Country Info Bulgaria Introduction Bulgaria General Data Bulgaria Maps Bulgaria Culture ... Bulgaria Time and Date Bulgaria Economy Back to Top Bulgaria was predominantly agricultural, with virtually no heavy industry. In Communist Bulgaria following World War II (1939-1945), all industrial enterprises were nationalized and operated under a series of five-year economic plans, modeled after the Soviet system, with financial aid from the USSR. Heavy industry was the government’s highest priority. Bulgaria enjoyed one of the most prosperous economies of the Soviet bloc. In 1990 Bulgaria began converting from a socialist to a market economy, which was expected to result in a positive economic reversal. The reversal did not happen, however, leading to popular dissatisfaction with the social effects of the reforms. Consequently, the legislature did not enact laws that would have resulted in mass privatization, and the major industrial sectors remained under state control. Some reforms and privatization had begun, however, and in 1994 more than twice as many state-owned enterprises were privatized than in 1993. The main sources of revenue under the socialist system were the turnover tax and deductions made from the profits produced by public enterprises. The turnover tax, a form of value-added tax, was based on a fixed rate and went immediately into the budget after the sale of products by state enterprises. In this way the state budget received a regular and uniform source of revenue to finance the undertakings called for in the economic plan. The turnover tax was dependent on the size, variety, and sale of manufactured products; ultimately it was passed on to the consumer. The profit deduction tax from state enterprises, unlike the turnover tax, was not at a fixed rate. It came from each enterprise's net income after deduction of the turnover tax. The profit shown by an enterprise was the difference between income and maintenance expenses. The advent of privatization in the early 1990s has made the future of the old taxation system uncertain.

Bulgaria is a constitutional, parliamentary republic Bulgaria’s Constitution, adopted in July 1991, provides for a multi-party, parliamentary system and free elections on the basis of universal suffrage. The parliament consists of the 240-seat National Assembly . Members are directly elected for four years on the basis of proportional representation. Parties and electoral coalitions need 4% of the popular vote to qualify. The Parliament Elections can be called before the end of the parliamentary term in certain circumstances, such as the government losing a confidence vote. Following elections, the largest parliamentary group is asked to form a government. A simple parliamentary majority is required to approve a government , comprised of the Council of Ministers, and to pass normal legislation. A three-quarters majority is required to approve constitutional changes. The President serves as Head of State, and is directly elected once every five years for a maximum of two terms. The current President is Georgy Parvanov. The President’s main duties are to schedule elections and referenda, represent Bulgaria abroad and conclude international treaties. The President may return legislation to the National Assembly – a kind of veto – but the legislation can be passed by a simple majority vote. The Council of Ministers is the principal body of the Executive Branch. Chaired by the Prime Minister, it is responsible for carrying out government policies and programs, managing the state budget, and providing for law and order.
