DPS-New Beginning: From 2023, the NSO will guard Kiril Petkov, Hristo Ivanov, Atanas Atanasov, Boyko Borisov and Delyan Peevski  - 1

"DPS - New Beginning" announced how much the security of leader Delyan Peevski costs. The party specified that the car used by Peevski is the property of the party and was provided for temporary and free use by the NSO, based on a signed contract, in accordance with the principles of current legislation.

This was announced by the party headquarters.

The NSO provided general information that the average gross salary of the officer corps is about 4,000 leva, and that of sergeants about 3,000 leva per month. There are four officers and sergeants guarding Mr. Peevski. The arithmetic from here on is relatively easy.

Here is the entire position of DPS-New Beginning.

Regarding the systematic speculation by representatives of PP-DB and their associates about the security provided by the National Security Service (NSS) for the chairman of DPS and PG of DPS-NEW START Delyan Peevski, we consider it useful to clarify the known facts and circumstances on the subject.

It is known from the media that in August 2023, the NSS provided security for five high-ranking Bulgarian politicians due to threats from foreign services related to Russia. These are the leaders of PP and DB Kiril Petkov, Hristo Ivanov and Atanas Atanasov, the leader of GERB Boyko Borisov and the leader of DPS Delyan Peevski. This is happening during the mandate of the so-called. “Sglobka“ , the history of which is reminded by the opening today in room 222 in the National Assembly by the Chairman of the DPS and the PG of the DPS-NOVO NACHALO, the “Museum of the Assembly“.

The reasons for the decision to deploy security guards are not commented on by the NSO, with the argument that this is classified information.

However, the over-focus of politicians from the PP-DB on the topic of the reasons and cost of security specifically for Mr. Delyan Peevski remains unchanged, probably because it follows the Goebbels principle of repetition and manipulation.

Therefore, we addressed a letter to the National Security Service, requesting information on how much Mr. Peevski's security costs. In their response, referring to the law on the National Security Service, under which the payroll and salaries of employees are marked with a security stamp, the National Security Service provided general information that the average gross salary of officers is about 4,000 leva, and that of sergeants about 3,000 leva per month. There are four officers and sergeants guarding Mr. Peevski. The arithmetic from here on is relatively easy.

Regarding the car used by Mr. Peevski, it is owned by the PP DPS and was provided for temporary and free use by the National Security Service, based on a signed contract, in accordance with the principles of current legislation.

So much for the manipulations in the PP-DB synopsis – neither is the security larger than that of the president and prime minister, nor are millions paid for security, nor does the car belong to the National Security Service. Everything that comes from these politicians can be illustrated with the old joke "they weren't computers, they were compotes."
