Slavi Vasilev becomes a father to a boy

Slavi Vasilev, a 42-year-old political scientist and deputy chair of the Progressive Bulgaria parliamentary group, has become a father to a boy. The baby was born via C-section at a private clinic in Sofia on October 19.

Vasilev had previously announced his partner Elena's pregnancy during his birthday in the spring. The birth is noted as a significant event for the family, particularly for his father, businessman Vasil Vasilev, who has long awaited an heir. The family name is historically associated with the 1996 privatization of the Mraz refrigeration plant.
