Ivelin Mihailov apologized to the parliamentary group of “Velichie“ and to Nikolay Markov in a video published on the party's Facebook page.
"I want to apologize to the PG of the party “Majesty“ and Colonel Nikolay Markov, if I have affected them in any way, I have caused a split in their ranks or I have sent an incorrect signal to the media, all of our supporters", said Mihailov.
Earlier, the chairman of the PG of “Majesty“ Nikolay Markov demanded an apology from Ivelin Mihailov for his words that he had "drilled" MPs who will support the GERB cabinet and that the group is breaking up.
„Even the most serious people make mistakes. For now, we'll assume I made a mistake. I have been quick and unmeasured about them and we look forward to seeing their actions. So far I have made a mistake. When you have no evidence, I am the person who has made some slander. I apologize for that thing,” said on “This Morning” Ivelin Mihailov.
„These people say this is not true, you are creating tension for us. And I accept, because at this moment I have no indisputable evidence. For this reason, I have to give these people a chance to work," he added.
„We emerged as a local party with certain problems that a given local community has. But we already see that they are national," Mihailov explained.
In his words, the election campaign of “Velichie“ was very cheap.
„With us, it can be seen that we have zero subsidies. We traveled to three countries – Great Britain, Germany and Austria. We started meeting with the people a month before the campaign”, explained Ivelin Mihailov.
„When the MPs come into power, someone has to do the work on the ground. So we split into two – some people to go on the field among the people every day and the others to be the representatives in power, he further explained.
