Simeon II

Simeon II, also known as Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, is a Bulgarian politician and former monarch who served as the Prime Minister of Bulgaria from 2001 to 2005. Born on June 16, 1937, he became Tsar of Bulgaria at the age of six, ruling until the monarchy was abolished in 1946. After decades in exile, he returned to Bulgaria after the fall of communism in 1989 and entered politics, leading the National Movement for Stability and Progress. His time in office focused on economic reforms and European integration, but his legacy remains mixed, with some viewing him as a symbol of continuity amidst political turbulence.
