The BSP for Bulgaria (Bulgarian: БСП за България|BSP za Bŭlgariya), or the Coalition for Bulgaria[2] (Bulgarian: Коалиция за България|Koalitsiya za Bŭlgariya) until 2017, is a centre-left electoral alliance in Bulgaria led by the centre-left Bulgarian Socialist Party. A big tent of the democratic socialist left, it is a coalition of communist, left-wing nationalist, green, and social-democratic parties. On European Union politics, the majority of its members hold pro-European views, while a minority hold more Eurosceptic stances.
