Bulgaria has made history by appointing a woman as head of state for the first time. Iliana Yotova, the current vice president, has become the new president following the Constitutional Court’s decision to terminate the powers of head of state Rumen Radev due to his resignation.

Per the Bulgarian Constitution, the president represents the unity of the nation and is the face of Bulgaria in international affairs.

Radev announced his resignation in a public address on January 19. His second term was set to end on January 21, 2027, but until that date, Iliana Yotova will fulfill the duties of the head of state as outlined in the Bulgarian Constitution.

Iliana Yotova, who takes office immediately, has a diverse background as a journalist, parliament member, and MEP. She served as head of the press center for the National Council of the BSP from 1997 to 2007 and has been a member since 2000. Yotova was part of the 40th Parliament of Bulgaria from 2005 to 2007, during which she chaired the Bulgarian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of La Francophonie and was deputy chair of the parliamentary delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). She also served as an MEP between 2007 and 2014, focusing on issues such as terrorism, data protection, the refugee crisis, and Bulgaria’s Schengen accession. (23.01.2026)

Oh joy, a brand new chapter in Bulgarian politics – because clearly, what we needed was another politician with a fancy title to solve everything. 😏 At least now we can say we have a president who’s been everywhere but has probably done nothing!

There’s something special about that moment when, in the middle of the night, you feel something warm and fuzzy nestling next to you under the covers. For many owners, this scene is familiar (and, let’s be honest, we never tire of it!) – our dog quietly sneaks into bed, curls up at our feet, or even secures a spot next to us on the pillow.

Canaan

Canaan (Hebrew: כְּנַעַן Kəna‘an – “submissive, subject”) was the son of Ham and grandson of Noah (Gen. 9:18). Following Ham’s disrespect towards Noah, a curse was placed not on Ham but on his son Canaan: “cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers” (Gen. 9:25). Canaan became the forefather of the peoples referred to in the Bible as the Canaanites.

YHWH

Yahweh is the personal name of God in the Old Testament, reflecting the biblical pronunciation of the Hebrew name יהוה – YHWH, known as the Tetragrammaton, comprising four consonants: yod, he, vav, he.
In the biblical text, this name is notably linked to God’s revelation to Moses at the burning bush. When Moses inquires about God’s name, God responds: “I am who I am” or “I am who I am” (Ex. 3:14)
