{"id":"BGR-001","notes":"Bulgaria is outside the primary database, but the sequence — anti-LGBTQ+ legislation as a values wedge, a funding-as-betrayal smear naming foreign donors, and a stated intent to copy Russia's foreign agent law tied to an election — closely mirrors the Georgian arc and the Republika Srpska model-import pattern. The analytically significant new element is cross-party drift: a nominally pro-Western largest party backing Russian-style legislation signals the multi-party normalization that, in documented cases, converts a fringe proposal into enacted law. | Comparative case outside the campaign model — no campaign assigned by design (Sep 23 2026). | Original tactic text: Foreign Agent Legislation (announced intent), preceded by political authorization and a targeting smear campaign","country":"Bulgaria","sources":[{"url":"https://www.gmfus.org/news/foreign-agents-law-next-goal-bulgarias-revival-party","citation":"https://www.gmfus.org/news/foreign-agents-law-next-goal-bulgarias-revival-party"}],"summary":"Bulgaria's parliament adopted an anti-LGBTQ+ education amendment proposed by the pro-Russia Revival party and backed by status quo parties; Revival then ran a smear campaign naming teachers who opposed it and alleging US and Bulgarian CSO financing. Revival has signaled its next goal is introducing a Russian-style foreign agents law targeting any CSO or individual, with newly demonstrated cross-party support.","tactics":[{"code":"TC-23","role":"primary","label":"Foreign Agent Legislation","needs_review":false},{"code":"TC-02","role":"secondary","label":"Political Authorization by State Actors","needs_review":false}],"version":1,"channels":[],"entities":[{"id":706,"name":"Revival (Vazrazhdane) party, GERB and status quo parties (BSP, ITN, DPS)","role":"target","entity_type":""}],"date_text":"August–October 2025 (anti-LGBTQ+ amendment August; elections October 27)","created_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","escalation":1,"harm_track":"","narratives":[{"code":"NF-01","role":"primary","label":"Foreign Agent / Foreign Influence","needs_review":false}],"report_ids":[],"signal_ids":[],"updated_at":"2026-09-24T17:50:55.358311+00:00","occurred_on":null,"campaign_ids":[],"enabler_type":"","response_ids":[],"trigger_type":"","campaign_phase":"","civic_response":"","date_precision":"unknown","enabler_status":"","campaigns_served":[],"consequence_category":"","institutional_consequence":""}
