Here is Dr. Ahmed Dogan's full address:
Dear Messengers!
We are experiencing a serious crisis in the organizational life of the party. This
the crisis was caused by:
- Systematic non-compliance with the DPS Statute;
- From the gross violation of the decisions of the last National Conference of DPS (February, 2024);
- From the brutal attitude towards the members of the central governing bodies, towards the deputies of the DPS, towards the regional and municipal structures of the party.
Never, since its inception more than 34 years ago, has the Movement used nefarious approaches to threaten our families, to take away people's business with the prosecution and police services. A fear psychosis is deliberately created for people's lives, work and property. And to my great surprise, it is claimed that everything that is being done was with my consent!? Absurd!
In such a situation, there is no basis for an understanding with anyone. Folk art has a formula for similar cases in life: “It is too late for a wrist.“ Bulgaria's civilizational choice is liberal democracy with a Euro-Atlantic orientation. The DPS has a significant share in achieving this strategic goal of the state. In addition, the DPS is an important geopolitical factor in the Balkans. Therefore, any serious shake-up in the ranks of the Movement has a wide public response and an international reaction of political anxiety for the stability and security of South-Eastern Europe.
Thank you for everyone's support: from veterans and MPs to party structures, municipal mayors and youth organizations. I especially thank the leaders of European liberals and our like-minded people and voters from the Republic of Turkey for their support. This circumstance convinces me for the umpteenth time that I have not wasted nearly 40 years of my life…
Actually, there is an attempt at an internal party coup in the DPS, in order to use party power for personal and group interests, and above all to change the political profile of the party. This process of illegitimate replacement of DPS must definitely be stopped. No one can steal or misappropriate DPS. Our organization is not a sole proprietorship. And therefore it cannot be owned by anyone.
DPS is a political achievement of all of us! Overcoming this threat requires radical political measures.
I am calling for the resignations of:
1. Delyan Peevski – chairman of DPS
2. Khalil Letifov – deputy chairman of the DPS and member of the Central Committee
3. Stanislav Anastasov – deputy chairman of the DPS and member of the Central Committee 4. Hamid Hamid – deputy chairman of the PG of the DPS and member of the Central Committee 5. Erten Anisova – deputy chairman of the PG of the DPS 6. Radoslav Revanski – member of the CSOLet the collective bodies decide whether to remain members of DPS or not. There is no other way to eliminate any arrogant attitude in our structures.
My great request to you is to free yourself from fear. We live in a free democratic world. Protect it!
Always yours, Ahmed Dogan
