Boryana Dimitrova: DPS Novo naklado is a key partner in the government

We are seeing successive steps to control DPS and expand Delyan Peevski's leverage of influence. This was told to FOCUS by the manager of the sociological agency "Alpha Research" Boryana Dimitrova.

According to her, what we are observing as a strategy in recent months is the use or stepping on the local government of Delyan Peevski.

"The strategy is to appear with different faces in the local government. The other line along which we see an increase in his influence is through winning various battles: for the DPS headquarters, for the name, for the co-chairs" "If half a year ago, during the October elections, it was not yet clear who would win the battle for the authentic MRF, now it seems to me that it is completely clear that this battle was won by Delyan Peevski, said the manager of "Alpha Research".

According to Dimitrova, we currently see that thanks to MRF "New Beginning" the ruling majority is being strengthened.

"The party is a key partner in the government. They participate in key votes, especially now, with the withdrawal of MRF support from MRF. The problem is this: will they, while retaining a relatively smaller force, simply be a supporting partner and the ruling majority will not feel threatened by them, or vice versa - with a sharp increase in the power of MRF "New Beginning" whether the ruling majority will begin to feel some form of threat to its own positions".

"The battle we have seen in recent months is to increase public support, to accumulate electoral dividends, and on this basis, at some point, a request for a redistribution of balances in the ruling majority", Boryana Dimitrova also believes.
