Bulgaria - Leadership



Saxe-Coburg has described his goal as an embarkation on the road to Bulgaria's economic and spiritual revival. His SNM party declares itself as "conservative yet liberal," willing to cooperate with all political organizations that support universal human values and democracy. At the same time, he states that the SNM is neither a coalition of existing parties nor a union of leaders, but a movement "that will target exclusively the real daily problems of the Bulgarian people." He intends to eliminate corrupt political practices, not just of his predecessors, but of all governments that have followed the fall of communism.

Because he comes to power from the private sector rather than the traditional political route, Saxe-Coburg intends to pursue a different policy for economic growth, one marked by greater privatization. He speaks of having a vision for the twenty-first century that seeks stability, progress, and prosperity for the country by greater participation in world affairs. He has described three essential goals his SNM intends to achieve: one, foster immediate and qualitative change in the Bulgarian standard of living by establishing global partnerships that bring capital to the nation's economy; two, abandon divisive political partisanship; and three, eliminate corrupt practices that continue to cause poverty by repelling foreign investment.
