The Spin
Anti-Russia narrative
As Bulgaria prepares for yet another election now that its pro-Western administration has collapsed, it's a matter of fact that the Kremlin, which for years abused its influence in the country to circumvent rules there, will do anything at its disposal to recover its strong clout. Countering Russian disinformation will be key to protecting the people's will.
Pro-Russia narrative

All this smear campaign about the Kremlin potentially promoting disinformation ahead of the June elections is merely an attempt to justify an imminent defeat.
