About Elena YONCHEVA
Elena Yoncheva represents Bulgaria in the European Parliament as a member of the Bulgarian Socialist Party, the country's main center-left political party and traditional opposition to the center-right GERB party. She sits with the Non-attached Members, a political group composed of MEPs who do not belong to any of the major European political families, often including those from Eurosceptic parties or those who have left other groups. Before entering politics, Yoncheva worked as an investigative journalist and television presenter, gaining prominence for her reporting on corruption and organized crime in Bulgaria. She joined the European Parliament mid-term, which partially explains her below-average attendance record of 64.4% compared to the Parliament's average of approximately 82%. Her voting participation stands at 64%, having participated in 1,206 of 1,873 votes. Yoncheva's background in journalism continues to influence her political work, particularly regarding transparency and media freedom issues within the European Union.
