💨 Abstract

On June 28, 2025, thousands of Bulgarians protested in Sofia against their country's upcoming adoption of the euro. Leaders and protesters argued this move as treasonous and advocated for keeping the national currency, the lev. The pro-EU government, despite facing a no-confidence vote, plans to proceed. Economists say the change will not drastically alter Bulgaria's economy, as their currency has been pegged to the euro for years.
