Bulgaria Disruption Workflows
The Bulgarian Disruption Workflows are step-by-step operational guides for countering six specific types of influence operations:
- Coordinated inauthentic behaviour
- Deepfakes and manipulated content
- Impersonation
- Sanctions circumvention
- Doxxing
- Gendered smear campaigns targeting political candidates
Each workflow selects and sequences disruption measures from the Framework, detailing who should act, what tools to use, and when to intervene, from evidence gathering to disruption and mitigation. They are modular and have been adapted to the national context of Bulgaria, including national legislation.
For Bulgaria, the project has produced 3 things: A localised version of the framework, 6 localised workflows, and a report outlining the state of disruption in the country.
Bulgaria
Disruption Difficulty: Medium
In Bulgaria, the legal thresholds determine intervention timing. Operational disruption
usually follows proof of illegality, otherwise being hindered by legal and mandate-based thresholds. Strong civil society actors improve the situation, while political instability complicates it.
