George's Day Movement
The George's Day Movement () is a nationalist political party in Bulgaria. The party was founded in December 1996 by members of the political satire television programme ''Canaletto''. Members of the show, which succeeded ''Ku-Ku'' in the mid-1990s, participated in the 1996–1997 Bulgarian protests, and had previously tried to create a party named the Ku-Ku People’s Movement in 1994, but the registration was denied by the Supreme Court of Cassation of Bulgaria, with tacit support from the two major political parties at the time, the Union of Democratic Forces and the Bulgarian Socialist Party. The founder of the party (who has since left and was a candidate for GERB in the 2021 general election) estimated that had it run in the 1997 parliamentary election, the party could have earned roughly 10% of the vote and over 30 seats in the parliament. Ultimately, it opted to instead focus on the local elections held in 1999, until which time it de facto operated as a union of ...
