The National Movement Simeon II (Bulgarian: Национално движение Симеон Втори or Nacionalno Dviženie Simeon Vtori) is a political party in Bulgaria, the vehicle of Simeon Borisov Sakskoburggotski, the deposed Tsar of Bulgaria and former Prime Minister. It was founded in 2000 by Stoyan Ganev, former president of The Forty-Seventh Session Of The General Assembly in The United Nations. The movement won 42.7% of the popular vote and 120 out of 240 seats in the 2001 elections. It formed a coalition government with the Movement for Rights and Freedoms. It has developed into a liberal party which became a full member of the Liberal International at its Sofia Congress in May 2005. At the last legislative elections on June 25, 2005, it received 21.83% of the popular vote and 53 out of 240 seats, a significant decrease.
The last political surveys (January 2007) showed that the party has fallen to third place in the opinion polls, after the Bulgarian Socialist Party and the newly-formed Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria.
