The mayors of villages across the country, members of the Association of Mayors in Bulgaria, are starting to collect signatures to establish their own party. This is what deputy chairman of the organization and mayor of the village of Zmeyovo, Stoyan Trifonov, said.

The mayors say they want governance with a focus on small towns and the people in them, which have so far remained out of sight of politicians. According to Siika Surkova, mayor of the village of Momchilovsti, the lack of a regular government and an up-to-date state budget creates chaos in small settlements.
