Exclusive – Scott Presler: Pennsylvania Has Chance to Fire Three Liberal Activist Judges

Voters in Pennsylvania this week have the chance to fire three liberal activist judges, Early Vote Action’s Scott Presler said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. Speaking days ahead of the election, Presler presented the situation in the Keystone State, reminding voters that they have a “historic opportunity” to defeat three Democrat Supreme Court justices in Pennsylvania. “In one election, that’s unheard of,” he stressed. “You can defeat three of five Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices, and all you have to do is vote. … All you have to do is vote on Tuesday or return your mail-in ballot.” “If it’s sitting on your counter and you flip over your ballot and it says, ‘Shall Christine Donohue, Democrat, be retained for 10 years?’ No. ‘Shall David Wecht, Democrat, be retained for 10 years?’ No. ‘Shall Kevin Dougherty be retained — Democrat — for 10 more years?’ No. It’s so easy,” Presler said, explaining that this is a prime opportunity to fire activist judges who “caused shenanigans in the 2020 election that allowed mail-in ballots to come three days after Election Day, that shut us down during COVID, that gerrymandered maps that allowed Bill Cosby to go free of his sexual assault conviction.” “It is so easy. All you have to do is vote no,” he said, warning that Democrats are very fired up and motivated to keep these judges – or as Presler described them, “these engineers of the 2020 election” – in office because they know Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) “is going to be running for president in 2028” and needs allies. “He needs his cronies on the Supreme Court. If you want to peacefully stop Governor Shapiro from being able to run for president in Pennsylvania, I need you to vote, and you get everybody in New Jersey at the same time to vote Jack Ciattarelli. Everyone in New Jersey, because we share a border with Pennsylvania, you help each other,” he pleaded. “You will defeat three Democrat Supreme Court justices in one singular election,” Presler added. Breitbart News Saturday airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern.

Como keeper Jean Butez shines as Napoli held to goalless draw

Como keeper Jean Butez proved unbeatable as reigning Serie A champions Napoli were held to a goalless draw at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The 30-year-old Frenchman pulled off a string of saves to frustrate former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay in particular as Cesc Fabregas’ men emerged from their trip to Naples with a creditable point having extended their league run without defeat to eight games. Indeed, they might have collected all three had Vanja Milinkovic-Savic not saved Alvaro Morata’s first-half penalty to at least send his side into Tuesday night’s Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt with something to show for their efforts. Antonio Conte’s men lead second-placed Roma, who face AC Milan at the San Siro on Sunday evening, by just a point and could find themselves toppled before the play again. Amir Rrahmani headed wide from an early Leonardo Spinazzola cross as the hosts set off in determined fashion, but Milinkovic-Savic had to save from Maxence Caqueret as the visitors responded with Nico Paz prominent. Milinkovic-Savic found himself in the thick of the action with 24 minutes gone when, with Como pressing, he was adjudged to have brought down striker Morata inside the box and referee Luca Zufferli pointed to the spot. However, the Serbia international atoned for his error when he dived to his left to save Morata’s penalty. McTominay forced two saves from Butez, the second of them from all of 35 yards, with the home side making a fresh push. McTominay saw a third attempt blocked before Eljif Elmas, who had earlier replaced the injured Billy Gilmour, called upon Butez once again as the hosts finished the first half on the front foot. Miguel Gutierrez fired over for the hosts as the second half got under way, but McTominay went much closer with a 55th-minute attempt from distance. Matteo Politano did test Butez twice inside three minutes with first Frank Anguissa and then McTominay providing the ammunition as Napoli started to turn the screw. Morata and Jacobo Ramon both threatened with Como fighting for the upper hand, but Butez had to deny McTominay once again with 20 minutes remaining as the leaders continued to look the more likely to break the deadlock. Butez kept Rasmus Hojlund’s header out from an 80th-minute Politano cross and then collected Alessandro Buongiorno’s 89th-minute effort. However, there was no separating the teams as the final whistle brought on end to a hard-fought, but ultimately fruitless encounter.

Non-league trio Carlisle, Gateshead and Boreham Wood spring FA Cup shocks

Substitute Regan Linney hit a sensational hat-trick as National League side Carlisle, managed by Mark Hughes, stunned League One Reading with a remarkable 3-2 extra-time win in the FA Cup first round.

Slough of the National League South knocked out fifth-tier Altrincham with a 2-1 success, while League Two Salford eliminated League One Lincoln 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw. Burton thumped seventh-tier St Albans 6-0 thanks to doubles from Tyrese Shade, Charlie Webster and Fabio Tavares, League Two Swindon came from behind to register a 2-1 extra-time win at League One Rotherham and Barnsley avoided an upset after scraping a 3-2 success over York at Oakwell thanks to Marc Roberts’ added-time header.

Checking On The Pitchers For The Dodgers And Blue Jays In Game Seven

Los Angeles pitcher Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani twos against the Toronto Blue Jays during the fourth inning in Game 4 of baseball's World Series, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2025, in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Ashley Landis) Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays will face each other in the ultimate winner-take-all matchup, Game Seven of the World Series. It’s all hands on deck for both pitching staffs with nine innings separating them from a championship. Two future Hall of Famers will take the mound tonight as the starting pitchers. In fact, they’ll directly face each other in the first plate appearance of the game. Shohei Ohtani will lead off as the designated hitter, then take the mound in the bottom of the first inning. His opponent will be 41-year-old Max Scherzer. Ohtani is widely expected to win his fourth MVP Award this year, and was named the National League Championship Series MVP. Scherzer’s trophy case is almost as full, as he owns three Cy Young Awards. There has never been a player like Ohtani in baseball history, but he’s going to be out of his comfort zone by pitching tonight. He typically requires at least five or six days of rest between outings, and has only pitched on fewer than five days’ rest once in his career. He’ll go on just three days’ rest in Game Seven, having thrown six innings and 93 pitches in Game Four on October 28. It’s unreasonable to expect Ohtani to go more than a few innings. Dodgers manger Dave Roberts will probably let him pitch for as long as he can shut down the Toronto lineup, but he’ll undoubtedly have a short hook. That will put the Dodgers at a disadvantage, since this is essentially a bullpen game—Ohtani must start because he can’t come in as a reliever without sacrificing the designated hitter spot. MORE FOR YOU After Ohtani, it gets dicey for the Dodgers. Roki Sasaki has emerged as a multi-inning closer in the postseason. He’ll probably pitch tonight even though he threw 33 pitches yesterday. Tyler Glasnow is another starting pitcher who looked like he would throw multiple innings in Game Seven until he was needed to throw three pitches in Game Six. Blake Snell hasn’t made a relief appearance since the 2019 postseason, but he could be available on two days’ rest. Yoshinobu Yamamoto just threw six innings and 96 pitches yesterday, making him the least available pitcher for the Dodgers, though nothing is impossible in the final game of the year. All of the conventional relievers are available, and the only one who pitched in game six is Justin Wrobleski. However, Dodgers fans who watched their bullpen all year won’t find much comfort in the idea of relying on a bullpen game. The Blue Jays are more set up for pitching success, even though Scherzer isn’t what he used to be, having posted a 5.19 ERA in the regular season. Kevin Gausman was yesterday’s starter, so it’s unlikely they’ll use him tonight. Four Toronto relievers also worked in Game Six—Chris Bassitt, Seranthony Domínguez, Mason Fluharty, and Louis Varland—but that won’t preclude any of them from working in Game Seven. To summarize the pitching staffs, the Dodgers have a better starter on the mound, but he’s unlikely to last deep into the night, and they have a weaker bullpen. If they don’t have a commanding lead after the early innings, the odds shift in favor of the Blue Jays to win Game Seven and the World Series. Editorial StandardsReprints & Permissions

4 ChatGPT Prompts To Help Scale Your Company With Purpose

4 ChatGPT Prompts To Help Scale Your Company With Purpose

ChatGPT prompts can help you scale your business and impact AI tools like ChatGPT are redefining what it means to grow efficiently, yet many leaders still treat them as shortcuts rather than strategic partners. Used with intention, ChatGPT can help companies scale smarter by clarifying vision, improving operations, amplifying brand authority, and anticipating risks before they stall momentum. ChatGPT prompts work for more than established companies. Side hustlers, student founders, and teen entrepreneurs can use them to turn ideas into systems. A teen running a small product business or a freelancer managing their first few clients faces many of the same challenges as larger teams—clarity, consistency, and efficiency. The earlier you learn to use ChatGPT as a thinking partner, the faster you can move from side project to sustainable venture. Below are four powerful ChatGPT prompts (and frameworks) that leaders, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs can use to build their companies. 1. ChatGPT Prompt to Clarify Your Core Value and Scaling Strategy Prompt: “Using the following company description (insert yours), generate three mission statements and three 90-day scale initiatives that align with our long-term vision and audience impact.” Many organizations chase growth metrics—such as user count, revenue, and reach —before even defining what they stand for. ChatGPT can serve as a mirror, forcing teams to articulate their essence before expanding. How to apply it: Write a one-paragraph summary of your business or brand. Ask ChatGPT to reframe your mission statement in several concise versions. Request short-term (90-day) scale initiatives that reinforce that mission. Choose the statement and initiatives that best reflect your company’s future direction. Example: A founder working in sustainable travel might see ideas surface around protecting local culture or reducing environmental impact. Choosing one focus area naturally sharpens everything else — from how you talk about the brand to which partners make sense and what kind of funding aligns with your values. The exercise turns vague ambition into a plan you can actually act on. 2. ChatGPT Prompt to Identify and Streamline Operational Bottlenecks Prompt: “List all steps in our customer journey—from awareness to retention—and identify three potential bottlenecks at each stage. Then propose two workflow or automation solutions per bottleneck.” MORE FOR YOU As companies grow, inefficiency multiplies. ChatGPT’s value lies in diagnostic clarity. By mapping workflows and prompting the model to spot slowdowns or redundancies, teams can uncover blind spots they may have normalized. How to apply it: Input your entire process (from marketing to delivery to follow-up). Ask ChatGPT to identify friction points or repetitive tasks. Follow up by requesting tech or process solutions—such as automation tools, CRM integrations, or delegation models. Example: A coaching company might discover that manual scheduling takes up valuable time. ChatGPT could recommend automating with Calendly or Zapier, freeing up hours for higher-value work. Learning where the systems fail under pressure means you can fix them before scale amplifies the inefficiency. 3. ChatGPT Prompt to Expand Your Thought Leadership and Brand Reach Prompt: “Act as a content strategist. Based on our brand values and audience, generate five topic clusters (with headlines, formats, and distribution ideas) that will position us as an authority in our industry over the next 90 days.” In an era where attention is a currency, thought leadership drives growth. Whether you’re a startup founder, consultant, or creative, scaling visibility often depends on consistent, value-driven storytelling. ChatGPT can help you go from sporadic posting to structured, consistent posting. How to apply it: Define your audience and core themes. Ask ChatGPT for topic clusters that align with your mission. Request a 12-week content calendar with suggested titles, formats, and channels. Example: A wellness brand might get clusters around “burnout recovery for founders,” “AI in human-centric productivity,” and “blending business with travel.” Each cluster can fuel blog posts, LinkedIn updates, podcast topics, or email campaigns. This not only saves time but ensures your brand narrative scales alongside your business. The best leaders aren’t just operators—they’re narrators. ChatGPT helps you tell that story consistently. 4. ChatGPT Prompt to Forecast Growth Risks and Build a Resilient Culture Prompt: “Imagine our company doubles in size within a year. Identify the top five risks (operational, financial, or cultural) that could emerge, and provide two mitigation strategies and one monitoring metric for each.” Rapid growth tests every aspect of a company—systems, culture, leadership alignment, and customer trust. ChatGPT can act as an early-warning system, surfacing vulnerabilities you may not see while inside the build phase. How to apply it: Ask ChatGPT to simulate what 2x or 3x growth would look like. Request an outline of potential pitfalls (e.g., talent gaps, diluted brand messaging, loss of product quality). Follow up with mitigation plans and measurable indicators. Example: A founder could identify “loss of personalized customer experience” as a likely risk. ChatGPT might suggest implementing tiered support, customer sentiment tracking, or onboarding new hires with culture-first training. These are small, strategic actions that protect long-term brand equity. The goal isn’t to avoid growth—it’s to scale without erosion. ChatGPT’s structured analysis gives leaders space to strengthen culture while expanding capacity. Scaling With Intention in the Age of ChatGPT The entrepreneurs thriving in this new era aren’t the ones who automate everything; they’re the ones who use tools like ChatGPT to plan smarter and execute faster. The most effective prompts are the ones that reflect your specific context—your market, team, and goals. Each of the examples above can be adapted into an internal workshop, a founder off-site exercise, or even a monthly reflection routine. When teams build the habit of prompting for clarity, efficiency, content, and risk awareness, they move from reactionary to intentional scaling. ChatGPT, when used strategically, can bridge data and intuition, speed and depth, automation and authenticity. The companies and individuals who understand this won’t just scale operations; they’ll scale self-awareness, storytelling, and sustainability. Editorial StandardsReprints & Permissions

Steve Borthwick hails energy and impact of Henry Pollock against Australia

England head coach Steve Borthwick was delighted with the energy brought by Henry Pollock after seeing the back-row sensation run in a crucial try against Australia. The Wallabies were dispatched 25-7 at Allianz Stadium with the introduction of England’s heavyweight bench, which included five British and Irish Lions forwards arriving en masse in the 52nd minute, proving decisive. Pollock was the first to make an impact when he showed superb hands to gather a loose ball before racing clear and recovering from an ankle tap to fall over the line. It was the 20-year-old’s third Test try in two replacement appearances and crucially it propelled his side 15-7 ahead at a point when they game was finely poised. “Everybody’s excited when Henry Pollock gets on to the pitch because of what he brings, there’s no doubt about that,” Borthwick said. “He’s probably the most excited person! The way he is and the energy he brings – he’s a ball of energy. “I love having that character in the squad. We’ve got a great blend of personalities developing within the team.” Fiji are the next visitors to Twickenham in the second of November’s four Tests and Borthwick admitted the performance of his replacements will make team selection trickier next week. “The bench certainly had a positive impact. It’s a sign that the squad is building in depth,” Borthwick said. “It was an important summer for English rugby with a number of players away with the Lions, who were successful down in Australia, as well as a number away in Argentina and America with England. “It’s enabled the squad to grow and that’s pleasing. It means I’ve got some difficult decisions to make. It’s the exact decisions you want as a head coach.” England should have been out of sight by half-time but they wasted a series of chances, including Joe Heyes and Ben Earl being held up over the line. “There were a big number of line breaks out there and that was a step forward. Finishing them off was not quite our strength though,” Borthwick said. “With the amount of rain that came down today and overnight, the pitch was really greasy and that was a contributory factor as well. “We made some tactical switches during the game to find ways to win – that tells me the team is thinking their way through a game.” Full-back Freddie Steward suffered a hand injury but Borthwick was unable to provide an update on his fitness. Australia head coach Joe Schmidt admitted the introduction of England’s reinforcements swung the match in the hosts’ favour. “It was very tough and there were a few lessons out there. We’re all disappointed,” Schmidt said. “England’s bench really made a difference because of the intensity and physical combat they brought. Until that time the game was in the balance. “Six British and Irish Lions on the bench – that’s strength in depth. England were very, very good, but it wasn’t like we were utterly outplayed.” Schmidt described England’s decision to draw the match officials’ attention to alleged illegal breakdown tactics by Australia in the build-up to the game as “a bit of gamesmanship”. “I always find those things disappointing, but not distracting,” Schmidt added.

Rabin memorial draws thousands as Lapid vows: We won’t let hate define Judaism or Israel’s democracy

Opposition leader Yair Lapid, Yashar Party chairman Gadi Eisenkot, Democrats Party head Yair Golan and former minister Tzipi Livni took part Saturday night in a rally marking 30 years since the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Thousands gathered at Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square, where the event opened with the song “Shir HaRe’ut” (“Song of Friendship”). Lapid was the first to speak. “The three bullets fired here in the square were meant not only to kill a leader but to kill an idea,” Lapid said. “That is the meaning of political murder, to kill both a man and a vision. The man was killed. It is our duty to make sure the vision lives on. Yigal Amir did not only try to kill the Oslo process. He tried to kill something much greater, the idea that a country can be both strong and peace-seeking, both national and liberal, and above all, both Jewish and democratic.” Lapid continued, “Three bullets fired in this square declared that if there is a contradiction between Judaism and democracy, Judaism comes first. And if you do not accept that Judaism comes first, we will shoot you in the back. We must say clearly here in this square: that is not Judaism. It is not the Judaism of the overwhelming majority of Israeli citizens. The extremists do not represent it, and they do not speak for it. In this square, Judaism did not pull the trigger. Judaism was shot. Judaism did not murder. Judaism was murdered.” He added, “After Rabin’s assassination, decent and honest religious Jews across Israel said again and again, ‘This is not Judaism. If we had known where this was heading, we would have spoken out much earlier.’ I say to them now, look around you. ‘Much earlier’ is happening again right now. Once again, the essence of the Jewish idea is being distorted. Once again, Judaism is being turned into violence, bloodshed, and hatred of our own people. Yigal Amir is not Judaism. The violent racism of Itamar Ben-Gvir is not Judaism. Those who suggest dropping atomic bombs on Gaza do not represent Judaism. Settler violence is not Judaism.” Lapid said Judaism “does not belong to extremists, the corrupt, or the draft dodgers. We do not take moral lessons from them. Unlike them, we listen to the God of Israel who said, ‘Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed, for in the image of God He made humankind.’ Against that sacred principle, they raised a question and built forty years of incitement on it: ‘What are you, Israeli or Jewish?’ “No one authorized me to speak in Yitzhak Rabin’s name,” Lapid said, “but I know what he would have said: ‘That is a stupid question. I am Israeli because I am Jewish.’ Zionism is a Jewish movement. The Declaration of Independence is based on the Bible. Our democracy is rooted in the vision of the prophets of Israel. The IDF is a Jewish army, and our children enlist to defend the land of our ancestors. Those who seek to divide these ideas are merchants of hate. Leading the Harel Brigade in Israel’s War of Independence was a Jewish act. Liberating the Western Wall was a Jewish act. Pursuing peace is a Jewish act. Accepting that others think differently yet working with them for the country we all love is also a Jewish act.” Lapid also mentioned the protest group Brothers in Arms and former Hamas hostage Gadi Moses. “Going out on October 8 to help your fellow citizens, like Brothers in Arms did, is a Jewish act. Defending the rights of the 20 percent of Israel’s citizens who are not Jewish is a Jewish commandment. Fighting for the hostages is Jewish. Emerging from Hamas captivity and saying, ‘I am going to rebuild Nir Oz,’ as Gadi Moses did, is Judaism. Standing over your son’s grave, like Rabbi Doron Peretz did, and speaking of forgiveness and love, saying, ‘We may be the smallest people in the world, but we are the biggest family in the world,’ is the essence of Jewish existence.” Lapid concluded, “There is no war in Israel between Israelis and Jews, because there cannot be. On one side are Israelis who are Jews, the same thing, and on the other are those who distort Judaism into politics of hate and violence. Those people sit in the government today. But here we swear to you, Yitzhak, for Judaism, for Israeliness, for our children, we will not abandon Israel. We will lead it on a new path. On this day, in this place, the two greatest traumas of Israel meet: Rabin’s assassination and October 7.” “On this day, in this place, we do not come only to mourn Rabin but to draw strength from him. He taught us that when you see danger, face it. When something is broken, fix it. If you have lost your way, go back to the beginning and start again. Above all, he taught us that despair is the greatest gift we can give our enemies. Hope and faith will bring victory in the struggle over the soul of this nation.” The event also featured other speakers and artists. Rabin’s final speech was screened on giant displays throughout Ibn Gvirol Street and nearby areas. At 9:42 p.m., the exact time of the assassination, the crowd observed a moment of silence. The rally ended with “Song for Peace” and Israel’s national anthem, “Hatikvah.” The memorial returned this year after a five-year hiatus due to the war and ongoing renovations at Rabin Square. Thousands filled Ibn Gvirol and nearby streets, with the main stage set up beside the assassination memorial. The rally took place three days before November 4, the anniversary of Rabin’s death. Organizers from the “Returning to the Square” movement said in a statement, “Thirty years ago, amid a horrific campaign of incitement, Yitzhak Rabin walked down the steps when a vile murderer fired three bullets to kill the prime minister and to kill the peace process.” “Today, thirty years later and two years after the October 7, 2023 massacre,” they added, “incitement and division are once again on the rise. Division makes us strangers to one another, and hatred has again become a weapon in the hands of reckless politicians. Israeli society is at a breaking point, and it is our collective duty to stop the deterioration. This is a moment of truth for Israel. Let us not forget what unites us, our strength and resilience. Israel must return to the square and pledge that even when we disagree, we will stand together in hope and reconciliation, for all of us.”

Nicki Minaj Praises Trump For Highlighting Christian Persecution In Nigeria

Rap superstar Nicki Minaj has thanked US President Donald Trump for drawing international attention to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, calling the president’s words “deeply moving” and “a reminder of faith and gratitude.” Trump, posting on Truth Social on Friday, condemned the ongoing attacks by Islamist militants in Nigeria’s northern and central regions, writing that “Christianity is facing an existential threat” in the country. “Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter,” Trump wrote. “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our great Christian population around the world!” The president added that he had directed members of Congress, including Rep. Riley Moore (R–W.Va.) and Rep. Tom Cole (R–Okla.), to investigate the situation and provide a comprehensive report. Trump also announced his intent to redesignate Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) under the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act, a move that would mark the most severe diplomatic rebuke available under US law for governments tolerating or committing religious persecution. Nicki Minaj Responds with ‘Gratitude and Prayer’ Minaj, who has long spoken openly about her Christian faith, responded with heartfelt words on social media. “Reading this made me feel a deep sense of gratitude,” she wrote. “We live in a country where we can freely worship God. No group should ever be persecuted for practicing their religion. We don’t have to share the same beliefs in order to respect each other.” In a follow-up post, the rapper added: “Numerous countries all around the world are being affected by this horror [and] it’s dangerous to pretend we don’t notice. Thank you to the president [and] his team for taking this seriously. God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to lift them up in prayer.” Minaj’s message sparked widespread discussion among her 233 million social media followers, with fans applauding her faith-driven remarks while others debated the political implications of her praise for Trump. US Officials and Advocates Applaud Minaj’s Stand US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz publicly thanked Minaj for “using her platform to speak out in defence of Christians being persecuted in Nigeria,” adding that “every brother and sister of Christ must band together and say, ‘Enough!’” Meanwhile, Mark Walker, Trump’s ambassador-designate for International Religious Freedom, told Fox News Digital that violence against Christians in Nigeria remains “a humanitarian and moral crisis.” “Even being conservative, it’s probably 4,000 to 8,000 Christians killed annually,” Walker said. “This has been going on for years — from ISWAP to Islamist Fulani ethnic militias — and the Nigerian government has to be much more proactive.” Rights monitors have documented attacks by Boko Haram, ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province), and Fulani extremists, including the burning of churches, mass kidnappings, and murders of worshippers during Sunday services. Congressional and Faith-Based Reactions Following Trump’s announcement, the House Appropriations Committee issued a statement supporting the president’s move, calling Nigeria “the most dangerous nation on Earth to follow Christ.” “For simply practicing their faith, Christians are actively being kidnapped, attacked, and slaughtered,” the committee wrote. “With President Trump announcing he will be redesignating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, the United States is making clear that religious persecution will not be tolerated.” Faith-based groups across the US have since echoed calls for greater international action, urging Washington to pressure Abuja into protecting its Christian citizens. As the conflict intensifies, Minaj’s words have resonated beyond entertainment — signalling that even global celebrities are paying attention to one of Africa’s most underreported crises.

Politico: Bulgaria Urges Temporary Relief from US Measures Targeting Lukoil Refinery

Bulgaria is holding consultations with Washington to explore the possibility of obtaining a temporary exemption from the new US sanctions imposed on Russian oil companies, including Lukoil, Politico reported. The government’s concern is that the restrictions, set to take effect on November 21, could disrupt fuel supplies, trigger shortages, and heighten social tensions in the country. The sanctions, introduced by President Donald Trump, target Russia’s major oil producers Rosneft and Lukoil. Their implementation has already caused unease across several European states that rely on Russian energy. Bulgaria is among the most exposed, given that the Lukoil Neftochim Burgas refinery supplies roughly 80 percent of the country’s fuel. According to Politico’s sources, Sofia has reached out to Washington to clarify the procedure for requesting a deferral of the sanctions after November 21. Officials are worried that banks might refuse to process transactions related to the refinery, effectively halting its operations. Such a shutdown could lead to fuel shortages, public protests, and potentially destabilize the government. The publication notes that senior members of the cabinet fear this could create political instability and strengthen the position of President Rumen Radev, who earlier acknowledged that the crisis could topple the government. The Ministry of Energy has declined to comment officially on Politico’s inquiry. Former Environment Minister Julian Popov told the outlet that the authorities lack a clear contingency plan. He warned that the country is “not prepared” to deal with the fallout from Lukoil’s potential withdrawal and that fuel shortages remain a realistic threat. Popov suggested that Bulgaria might need to place the refinery under temporary state management, assisted by an international team of legal and energy experts. Others, however, believe the fears are overstated. Ilian Vassilev, Bulgaria’s former ambassador to Russia, described the government’s warnings as an attempt to delay the sale of Lukoil’s assets. He argued that there are credible investors ready to take over the Burgas refinery and said “there is no reason to panic.” The situation is part of a broader European challenge involving Russian energy assets. Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban personally requested an exemption from the US sanctions but was denied, while Germany was granted one after placing Rosneft’s local subsidiaries under state control. Meanwhile, Lukoil has announced an agreement with the energy trading company Gunvor to sell its overseas assets affected by the sanctions. The deal still requires approval from the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Politico also noted that Bulgarian Finance Minister Asen Vassilev recently warned that the government had no clear plan for how to respond if Neftochim Burgas were forced to suspend operations. The cabinet rejected that claim but provided no details about alternative measures. In parallel, Parliament swiftly approved a temporary ban on the export of diesel and aviation fuel - a move described by critics as rushed and poorly justified. The decision was presented as a measure to safeguard domestic fuel supplies but also highlighted the growing sense of uncertainty surrounding Bulgaria’s energy stability in the weeks ahead of the sanctions deadline.
