With this, Bulgaria has climbed to the top of an unpleasant ranking in the European Union, where it will share second place with the Czech Republic (with one woman minister &#8211; of defence), following the champion of anti-democracy &#8211; Hungary, whose current cabinet has only men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of only one woman in the government is a historical regression in our recent history, showing how persistent the systemic inequalities in Bulgarian society are. It documents how superficial is our political leaders&#8217; understanding of democratic values. Whatever else the Zhelyazkov cabinet leaves behind, it will never be able to be assessed as respecting the principles of non-discrimination and equal rights, which are the basis of a just and democratic society. In BOLD&#8217;s view, such a situation is unacceptable and signals the need for policies that reduce inequality between men and women in all spheres of government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOLD (Bulgarian Community for Liberal Democracy) is perplexed by the fact that there is only one woman minister in the government elected on 16 January 2025, headed by Rosen Zhelyazkov.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":8017,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[101],"tags":[134,399,398],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Zhelyazkov Cabinet - Historical Regression in Gender Equality - \u0411\u041e\u041b\u0414<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Zhelyazkov Cabinet - Historical Regression in Gender Equality - \u0411\u041e\u041b\u0414\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"BOLD (Bulgarian Community for Liberal Democracy) is perplexed by the fact that there is only one woman minister in the government elected on 16 January 2025, headed by Rosen Zhelyazkov.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"\u0411\u041e\u041b\u0414\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-02-25T11:57:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-02-25T17:32:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/kabinet-2025-1-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"administrator\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"administrator\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/\",\"name\":\"The Zhelyazkov Cabinet - Historical Regression in Gender Equality - \u0411\u041e\u041b\u0414\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2025-02-25T11:57:45+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-02-25T17:32:27+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/0d91d7b6ad264cd975e1e044d33a999e\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/2025\/02\/25\/the-zhelyazkov-cabinet-historical-regression-in-gender-equality\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"\u041d\u0430\u0447\u0430\u043b\u043e\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/boldbg.net\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"The Zhelyazkov Cabinet &#8211;
