Patriotic Front (Bulgarian: Патриотичен фронт) was a nationalist electoral alliance in Bulgaria between political parties VMRO and NFSB.[4]

History

The former ran as part of an electoral alliance led by the political party Bulgaria Without Censorship (BWC) during the 2014 European parliamentary election, where both allied parties won a seat in the European parliament. The signing of the coalition agreement between VMRO and NFSB marked the end of the BWC-VMRO coalition. The coalition agreement forming Patriotic Front was signed on 3 August 2014[5] and stated its goals to be "a revival of the Bulgarian economy, a fight against monopolies, achieving modern education and healthcare and a fair and uncorrupt judiciary."[4]

The members of the alliance included PROUD,[6] National Ideal for Unity,[7] Middle European Class,[8] Association Patriot,[9] Undivided Bulgaria,[10] National Movement BG Patriot,[11][12] Union of the Patriotic Forces "Defense", Revival of the Fatherland, National Association of Alternate Soldiery "For the Honor of epaulette",[13] National Movement for the Salvation of the Fatherland[14] and National Democratic Party.[15]

Elections

The coalition's electoral debut took place in the 2014 parliamentary election.
