Andrey Novakov · MEP since 2014
Bulgaria does not want special treatment. Only an equal chance.
My cause is for Bulgaria to be part of the solutions in Europe, not just part of the conversation.

I DID NOT COME TO BRUSSELS TO STAY SILENT.

- About Andrey
Working in Brussels. Serving in Bulgaria.
I grew up in a small village, where I first learned to work, and then to talk about my work. At 26, I became the youngest Bulgarian MEP. Since then, I have viewed Brussels not as a final destination, but as a place from which decisions must return with a positive result for Bulgaria.
- A strong Europe, capable of guaranteeing its own security.
- Strong regions, not just strong capitals.
- Transport that doesn't waste days at borders.
- Less bureaucracy and more equal opportunities.
- Young people who choose to stay and succeed here.

- The Commitment
VISION AND MISSION
Bulgaria in Europe as an equal partner. That is the direction. Everything else is work.
Vision
I want a Europe that measures its success not by the number of regulations, but by the quality of people’s lives. A Bulgaria where young people choose to stay because they see opportunities, not because they have no choice.
Mission
Bulgaria's security is Europe's security
The only Bulgarian in the EP Committee on Security and Defence and a reservist volunteer. For me, security is not just a topic for speeches. It requires solutions, responsibility, and personal commitment – both inside and outside the European Parliament.
An end to the bureaucracy that stifles people
When people prefer to take a bank loan instead of applying for European funding because of heavy documentation, it means the system needs change. That is why I work for less bureaucracy and more accessible opportunities.
An equal place for Bulgaria, without exceptions
For Bulgarian haulers, waiting at borders was measured in hours, sometimes days. 44,247 people stood behind the initiative to change this, and the European Parliament supported the proposal for a pan-European standard of an average of one minute for truck processing. A concrete problem that showed why the common European market only makes sense when it works equally for everyone.
THE BATTLES I FIGHT
Politics only makes sense when it changes people’s quality of life. The causes I stand behind are my daily battles, which I work for every day in Brussels – with concrete results.
Young people must have a reason to choose Bulgaria
I consider it normal for talented Bulgarians to succeed anywhere in the world. However, it is important that their success also matters for Bulgaria. That is why I created A.L.E.C.O. – a program that gave young Bulgarians the opportunity to develop their business ideas in Silicon Valley, Israel, and Asia.
For a clean environment, not poor people
A clean environment must not make people poorer. Green policies will only be successful if they are fair. I voted against the 2035 ban on diesel cars. My position: "I want to leave a clean environment for our children, but not poor parents."
On the side of the working person
Politics should start with the people who get up early for work. From the truck driver. From the miner. From the entrepreneur. From the mayor of the small municipality. If the laws work for them, they will work for everyone.
