		With time Kostov grew increasingly dissatisfied with the new UDF leadership and chairwoman Nadezhda Mikhailova, who was a popular foreign minister in Kostov's own government.

	Bulgaria The Union of Democratic Forces - Flags, Maps, Economy, History, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, ...
		The Union of Democratic Forces (UDF--Bulgarian Sayuz na Demokratichnite Sili--SDS), which emerged as the chief opposition faction to the BCP after 1989, was a motley coalition of several major and many minor parties and groups.
		The basis of the UDF was the dissident groups that formed under the faltering Zhivkov regime in the late 1980s.
		In the first half of 1990, the stature of the UDF was enhanced by its participation as an equal in round table discussions with the BCP (BSP) on a range of policy issues that would set future economic and political policy.

		The Union des forces progressistes (UFP) is a left wing political party in Quebec, Canada.
		Quebec's Green Party, the Parti vert du Québec, has pledged to try to avoid running candidates in ridings where there is a UFP candidate, although it reserves the right to run anywhere it wants to (even ridings with a UFP candidate), and has not merged with the UFP.
		However as a left-wing party, it considers this option not as an end in itself, but rather as a means to achieve the party's social ideal for the people of Quebec.

	NATO Research Fellowships 1994-1996
		It is clear that the MPs from the different parliamentary political forces were quite heterogeneous, the BSP majority coming predominantly from the former political and administrative elite, whereas the opposition comprised mostly people from the free professions, dissidents, and repressed by the communist regime.
		At that, their main problem was establishment of political democratic institutions, while the "transformers" must have been thinking in the categories of structural adjustment of the economy, besides keeping a definite position in power.
		The UDF has obviously continued to uphold political values such as freedom and democracy but is also apparently embracing terms typical of the economic classical liberal model, if we bracket the frequent use of ownership and family - at that, with a new emphasis on the law.

	Chronology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The United Democratic Forces were set up in the spring of 1996 when the parliamentary Union of Democratic Forces, the People's Union, the ethnic Turks' Movement for Rights and Freedoms and several extra-parliamentary formations agreed on nominating a single candidate for the presidential elections.
		The ruling center-right UDF won only 18.18 percent of the vote and 51 seats, the opposition Socialists won 17.15 percent and 48 seats, and the MRF won 7.45 percent and was predicted to receive 21 seats (Deutsche Presse-Agentur, June 20, 2001).
		UDF leader Ekaterina Mihailova cited the National Movement’s attempt to also form an alliance with the MRF as the reason for the failed coalition attempt between the UDF and the NMS II (Associated Press Worldstream, July 16, 2001).

		The Bulgarian trade union movement was rejuvenated in the pluralist post-Zhivkov political atmosphere after being forced to adhere totally to BCP policy throughout the postwar period.
		Although union and BCP membership were theoretically separate, officials at the national and local levels often overlapped to give the party direct control of workers.
		The Petkov branch of the Bulgarian Agrarian National Union (BANU), the third of the prewar parties to emerge as an independent entity after Zhivkov, was the part of the agrarian movement that had actively opposed the communists between 1944 and 1947 and thus did not survive the postwar communist consolidation.
