Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has started to interfere openly in Bulgarian domestic politics, pundits said after he made an unprecedented video address to

On 12 December, Erdoğan addressed in a short video a party conference of DPS (Renew Europe), which re-elected Mustafa Karadayi to a new leadership term.
DPS has a steady presence in
Bulgaria’s political landscape, with 25 MPs in the 240-member National Assembly. Officially, DPS is in opposition, but they have supported the government of Boyko Borissov in decisive moments, in exchange for economic benefits.
