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. He demonstrates exceptional commitment to parliamentary duties, maintaining a 97.8% attendance record that significantly exceeds the European Parliament average of approximately 82%, and has participated in 98% of votes (1,831 out of 1,873). 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.
