Velichie (Bulgarian: Величие, lit. 'Greatness')[5] is a Bulgarian political party founded in 2023, with strong connections to the Bulgarian businessman, Ivelin Mihaylov.[6] The party has a strong position in the Vetrino Municipality and received parliamentary representation following the June 2024 Bulgarian parliamentary election.
Following the October snap election, the party won 3.999% of the vote, falling short by just 21 votes of the 4% threshold required to gain representation in the 51st National Assembly.[7] However, after the Constitutional Court ruled that Velichie passed the threshold following a recount, the party gained 10 seats in parliament.
