Political parties of minorities

The Renew Europe group in the European Parliament, alongside the European ALDE party, has called for the expulsion of Delyan Peevski's Movement for Rights and Freedoms (DPS) from both organizations. This announcement followed Peevski's election as the sole leader of the DPS during an extraordinary conference held on Sunday.

The recent reports published by the National Audit Office reveal that the most expensive election campaign in the early parliamentary elections held on October 27 was conducted by "DPS - New Beginning." The campaign costs for the political formation led by Delyan Peevski exceeded 1,160,000 leva, making it the only campaign to surpass the one-million-leva mark.

Dzhevdet Chakarov, the leader of the "Democracy, Rights and Freedoms" (DPS-Dogan faction) party, emphasized the urgent need for a regular government during his consultations with President Rumen Radev.

"We Continue the Change" (WCC) has issued a statement regarding the decisions made during their recent National Council meeting. The party confirmed that they will only engage in government negotiations with parties that have signed the declaration aimed at eliminating the Peevski model from Bulgaria's governance.

Boyko Borissov, leader of GERB, has signaled a potential shift in strategy following unexpected developments in the ongoing attempts to form a government and elect a Speaker of the National Assembly. Borissov expressed surprise at the support of the "DPS - New Beginning" faction for Natalia Kiselova, stating that he was unaware of any discussions involving the BSP that led to this outcome.

For the tenth consecutive time, the National Assembly failed to elect a Speaker. Both Silvi Kirilov from the "There is Such a People" (TISP) party and Assoc. Prof. Natalia Kiselova from the "BSP-United Left" reached the runoff. However, neither candidate was able to secure the required majority to assume the position.

In recent months, Bulgarian politics have been marked by tension and instability, fueled by the deepening rifts between key political figures and parties. These divisions center around the so-called "Peevski model," a reference to the influence of controversial political figure Delyan Peevski, who has been a polarizing presence in the country's political arena.

Delyan Peevski, leader of "DPS - New Beginning," called for new elections, emphasizing the need for governance that prioritizes the people's interests. Speaking on the ongoing parliamentary impasse, he remarked, "It's time for elections because there must finally be consideration for the people. Those inside the plenary hall are not thinking about them.

In a statement, Toshko Yordanov from "There Is Such a People" (TISP) announced that the party is submitting a complaint to the Constitutional Court seeking partial annulment of the recent elections in Bulgaria. The complaint, which will be filed within 20 minutes, has gathered 67 signatures, surpassing the minimum requirement of 48.

Delyan Peevski, the leader of "DPS - New Beginning," has accused a group of politicians of attempting to undermine the Bulgarian state in a statement released to the media. He criticized these politicians for their desperate efforts to absolve themselves of responsibility following the recent elections, claiming that their behavior reflects their loss of 300,000 votes.
