Abstract:

The study aims to clarify how the concept of housing Bulgarian refugees was implemented in the context of the 1926 Refugee Loan Act under the auspices of the UN. It analyzes the new means proposed by the government of Andrey Lyapchev (1926–1931) for the realization of the concept of permanent accommodation of the Bulgarian refugees on the territory of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom. It also presents criticisms and alternative proposals of the government project, which were opposed by the parliamentary opposition, mainly in the face of the Democratic Party, the National Liberal Party, and the Bulgarian Agrarian People’s Union. An attempt has been made to assess the validity and effectiveness of the views of the government and the opposition on resolving the Bulgarian refugee issue in the specific historical situation of the mid-1920s.
