Narodno Sabranie

The Narodno Sabranie is Bulgaria's unicameral Parliament, comprising 240 seats elected by proportional representation. It became the focal point of the nomads-and-communities story on 19-20 April 2026, when a snap election delivered 131 seats and an outright majority to Progressive Bulgaria, led by former president Rumen Radev. It was the first single-party majority in the Sabranie since 1997. Vazrazhdane, the anti-EU party most likely to weaponise Bulgaria's December 2025 digital-nomad permit, barely survived the 4% threshold with 4.257% of the vote and lost all coalition leverage .

The Sabranie passes legislation, confirms the government, and ratifies treaties. A single-party majority removes the Coalition-arithmetic constraints that had made every permit a potential hostage in government formation talks since December 2025. The nomad permit, launched at an income floor of EUR 31,000 a year, is now politically secure for at least the duration of the Radev mandate.
