FORMER BOY KING POISED FOR BULGARIAN POLL VICTORY [Free Republic] SIMEON II chose Bulgaria's medieval capital of Veliko Turnovo, a picturesque hillside town redolent of a more glorious age, to launch his final week of campaigning yesterday as his party heads for victory in next Sunday's elections. This is probably why King Simeon also has not given the United Democratic Forces (UDF) the unequivocal support one might have expected from a presumably democratically minded King, genuinely interested in the future of Bulgaria.
