Нито конфликт, нито разбирателство. Управлението на Андрей Ляпчев и земеделците (1926-1931)
Neither conflict not consensus. The covernance of Andrey Lyapchev and the agrarians (1926 – 1931)

Summary/Abstract: After three years in power, the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union (BANU) controlled government was overthrown on June 9, 1923 by a coupd’état. In the following three years, the country experienced internal civil conflict. At the beginning of 1926, Andrey Lyapchev became the Prime Minister of Bulgaria. He attempted to pacify the country, part of which involved allowing BANU to reorganize and develop normal political activity. However, BANU quickly split into several factions. Bulgarian historiography claims that this happened with Lyapchev’s assistance. The available documents do not confirm this claim. However, this fact benefited the ruling party. The largest faction, BANU „Vrabcha 1, was also torn by internal conflicts. Some of its leaders believed it should operate entirely independently, without supporting the ruling party or the opposition. Ultimately, BANU decided to join a coalition that achieved a brilliant victory in the 1931 parliamentary elections. This demonstrates, on the one hand, that BANU regained its influence in Bulgaria and, on the other, that Lyapchev had pacified the country and restored its democratic and parliamentary path of development.
