National Movement for Stability and Progress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Movement for Stability and Progress (Bulgarian: Национално движение за стабилност и възход or Nacionalno dviženie za stabilnost i vǎzhod), until 3 June 2007 known as the National Movement Simeon II (the acronym in Bulgarian is the same - НДСВ), 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 April 2001 after Simeon II declared his choice to take part in the active political life of Bulgaria. 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.
