Russia

• Position of neutrality in the war in Ukraine. In an interview with Darik Radio as candidate for vice-president alongside Ivelin Mihaylov, she said: „Ние залагаме твърдо на каузата на пълен неутралитет на България по отношение на военните действия между Украйна и Русия“ (our translation: "We firmly commit to the cause of full neutrality of Bulgaria with regard to the military actions between Ukraine and Russia"). On the Black Sea drone incident she said the two versions seem equally defensible and that each side has an interest in what happened. She did not name Russia as an aggressor. This is a statement of position only. — Darik Radio, 7 Oct 2026

Corruption and scandals

• Lawyer of Ivelin Mihaylov in an insult case. Budilnik, which is run by the journalist Emil Rusanov, the defendant in the case, writes that she is the lawyer of the private complainant in an insult case at Provadia District Court. Rusanov is a former Velichie member in a dispute with Mihaylov, so the outlet has a stake in the story. The case was brought by Mihaylov, not by her. A hearing was set for 8 October 2026; no ruling has been found and the outcome is unknown. — Budilnik, 7 Oct 2026
