[8][9][10][11] Future party leader Yanev was removed from the Petkov Government in March 2022 after he refused to describe the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a war.

Despite this, the party backed sending military aid to Ukraine, with the condition that Bulgaria receive modern NATO weaponry in exchange.

[2] The party has garnered some criticism for not expressing substantive positions on most political issues.

To take part in the 2022 parliamentary snap elections, it allied with four smaller "mandate carrier" parties, Svoboda, Party of the Greens, the Alternative for Bulgarian Revival, the Agrarian People's Union and Union of Free Democrats.

As a part of this, the party claimed it had met with representatives of BV, but Yanev denied this.
