Todor Burmov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Todor Stoyanov Burmov (Bulgarian: Тодор Стоянов Бурмов) (2 January 1834 - 25 October 1906) was a leading Bulgarian Conservative Party politician and the first Prime Minister of an independent Bulgaria.
Burmov was a close associate of Alexander of Bulgaria and so was chosen as the Prime Minister of the newly independent country on 17 July 1879 despite the relatively weak position of the Conservatives. Burmov's regime was mostly involved in trying to stabilize the new country, including placing Varna and other areas of Muslim insurgency under martial law. The government largely proved a failure due to the lack of support for the Conservatives in the Assembly and it fell that same year.
