Bulgarian Radostina Petkova, 21, and her partner Alexander Angelov, 27, chat inside the kitchen of their apartment in the town of Vratsa, some 110 km (68 miles) north of Sofia, April 10, 2013. Vratsa, in the poorest part of the European Union's poorest country, is a microcosm of the challenges facing whoever wins a national election on May 12. More than two million people have left Bulgaria since the fall of communism, and protesters have taken to the streets to complain about low wages, high bills and deep-seated corruption and to demand more spending to help the economy recover from a deep recession.
