Galab Donev

Galab Spasov Donev (Bulgarian: Гълъб Спасов Донев, born 28 February 1967) is a Bulgarian politician serving as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance since 2026. Formerly an Independent politician, he previously served as Prime Minister of Bulgaria from 2022 to 2023, heading a caretaker government. Earlier, he held several posts in caretaker governments, including Minister of Labor and Social Policy in 2017 and 2021, as well as Deputy Prime Minister in 2021.

Donev is widely regarded as part of the inner circle to Prime Minister Rumen Radev. As president, the latter appointed the former in three separate caretaker governments. Donev also served as chief of staff to Radev, while he was president. Later, when Radev resigned the presidency and founded the Progressive Bulgaria party, Donev was one of the first people to join the newly-formed political project.
