Name

The second part of the former name of the party, "Mafia, get out!" (Bulgarian: Мутри вън!, romanized: Mutri van!, мутра, pl. мутри being a slang word for mafia member), was taken directly from president Rumen Radev's final words in his speech in 9 July 2020 in front of the gathered crowd which was one of the factors that sparked the 2020–2021 anti-government protests. In his speech, Radev called for the expulsion of the Bulgarian mafia from the executive and the judiciary.^[7]

On 20 July 2021, the party changed its name to "Stand Up.BG! We are coming!"^[8]
