The European Parliament has approved Bulgaria’s request to join the eurozone, with 531 votes in favor, 69 against, and 79 abstentions. Despite recent protests in Bulgaria opposing the move, lawmakers confirm the country meets all necessary criteria. Rapporteur Eva Maydell called the vote a “clear message” of readiness and a significant step toward full European integration. If finalized, Bulgaria will become the 21st country to adopt the euro.
