Summary/Abstract: The article is dealing with the media representation of the concept of “European values” during the campaign for the European elections in 2019. The political discourse is dominated by a selective and perverse representation of European values, reduced to “gender policy” understood as free choice of gender identity and sexual orientation. Based on this narrative a negative attitude towards the EU is constructed as ‘Brussels’ is presented as a foreign power imposing morally unacceptable values and policies on Bulgaria.
