Bulgaria is set to become the 21st eurozone member amid significant public opposition, with 53% of citizens opposing the move according to EU polls. The transition occurs during political instability following government resignation amid anti-corruption protests, leaving the country without a budget and hampering reforms. Despite concerns about inflation and price increases, supporters view euro adoption as a historic achievement that will strengthen European integration and combat Russian influence.
