This chapter focusing on Bulgaria aims to explore cases of politicization of different aspects of digital transformation on behalf of parties, or political actors mobilized on issues related to ethics, transparency, and malpractices on social media, such as political bots, misinformation, or lack of transparency upon content moderation. The time frame of the study from 2020 to 2024 encompasses the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war against Ukraine. These unprecedented crises and events have increased the role of digital media for communication and public opinion shaping. Also, since 2020 Bulgaria has been in political crisis with growing party system’s fragmentation, accompanied by radicalization on social media. Selected cases studied include first a party in government trying to introduce measures against the fake news. The second case represents both civic and political mobilization on the moderation of content on Facebook in Bulgaria. The third case concerns governmental parties’ attempt to regulate online misinformation. On the basis of the cases studied, one can affirm that attempts to regulate social media on behalf of political actors raise ethical and political concerns about the freedom of speech and the risks of censorship. Also, regulation of online communication flows on behalf of a single nation-state is a difficult, even impossible task. However, progress achieved at the EU level with the Digital Services Act and the regulation of AI helps domestic political actors in their efforts of regulation.

The country is among the latest comers in the UE with severe failures in the implementation of the required reforms in the fields of the Rule of Law, fighting corruption and organized crime and reforming the judiciary. The analysis underlines the "second order" character of the 2014 European elections in Bulgaria, held in the context of multiples crisis of different levels. Voters sanctioned severely the parties in government and opened the way to early parliamentary elections

L'organisation de ces travaux a bénéficié du soutien du Fonds national de la recherche scientifique (FNRS), du gouvernement de la Région de Bruxelles-capitale, de la Communauté française, du ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche scientifique et du ministère des Affaires étrangères. Je tiens à remercier tout particulièrement T. Dufour pour son aide efficace dans les traductions des textes et M. Mat pour sa relecture attentive et son dynamisme. Enfin, le GASPPECO ne pourrait organiser de multiples activités scientifiques sans l'enthousiasme et le dévouement de ses chercheurs. Que Petia Gueorguieva, Sorina Soare et Köle Gjeloshaj trouvent ici l'expression de mes remerciements.

Le populisme est un concept large qui se prête à des définitions différentes et qui comprend des phénomènes et des mouvements divers historiquement et dans les différents espaces géopolitiques. Le terme est banalisé par ses usages par les hommes politiques qui s’accusent mutuellement en populisme pour se discréditer les uns les autres. Il y a plusieurs types de populismes et ils ne sont pas tous radicaux de droite ou de la droite extrême.This article describes some of the traits of the current surge in radical right-wing populism in central and eastern Europe. Populism is a broad concept that can be defined in different ways and which encompasses historically diverse phenomena and movements occurring in different geopolitical spaces. The term is being trivialised by politicians using it indiscriminately as they seek to discredit accuse each oth...

The chapter is structured in four parts. First, it offers a brief historical overview of Bulgarian accession to the EU. Secondly, the impact of EU membership on public opinion and political parties is evaluated. The third part presents the impact of EU membership on Bulgarian political institutions and governance. Finally, a brief comparison is offered with the Romanian experience of Europeanization. The underlying argument is that the process of Europeanization has been a slow one.
