GERB
About
GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria) was founded in 2006 by then-Sofia mayor Boyko Borissov and quickly became Bulgaria's dominant center-right party. It has governed Bulgaria for much of the period since 2009, often in coalition arrangements. Ideologically pragmatic and pro-EU, GERB is aligned with the European People's Party in the European Parliament and has repeatedly returned to power despite recurring corruption controversies.
