Bulgaria is shrinking and changing. One investigation looks at the demographic crisis and rural depopulation, where each year the country loses the equivalent of an entire town. Another analyzes rising youth unemployment and whether the education system is adapting to the labor market’s needs. The final story highlights a cultural and social decay through the lens of abandoned football stadiums—once symbols of community pride, now crumbling relics, including the largest in the country, Plovdiv Stadium, which has not hosted an official match in decades.
