About Ivaylo VALCHEV

Ivaylo Valchev is a Bulgarian MEP serving in the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a right-wing Eurosceptic political group that advocates for national sovereignty and opposes further European integration. Valchev represents Bulgaria in the European Parliament, though his specific national party affiliation is not clearly documented. Valchev is serving a full parliamentary term rather than filling a partial mandate. His alignment with the ECR group positions him alongside other conservative and Eurosceptic MEPs who generally support free market economics, traditional values, and greater decision-making power for national governments rather than EU institutions. As a Bulgarian representative in this grouping, Valchev contributes to the ECR's efforts to influence European legislation from a conservative, sovereignty-focused perspective.

Methodology

Attendance is calculated based on roll-call votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament. Committee votes are excluded. Abstaining counts as present; not voting counts as absent. Sittings for which the Parliament officially excused a Member (Rule 162, illness, family, official mission, or maternity) are credited, not counted as absences. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
