„The battle between Dogan and Peevski will be fierce. I've known Dogan since the beginning, we've been in prison together, we were sentenced for the same case, him for 10 years, me for 8. We created this halo around him, the people in resistance to the Revival process, and we endure all the pros and cons of this thing. People are still voting for him in places. It is not by chance that Peevski and Chakarov put his portrait. His authority among people is great“.
This is what Kasim Dal, one of the founders of DPS, said in an interview with BNR.
And predicted: "Things won't stay like this, knowing them both, especially Dogan. The fight will be fierce. These two chairmen of the DPS, having agreed to head the DPS, should know that in the Party Charter there is a place for the honorary chairman and he determines the policy, he sanctions the election lists. So in Dogan's hands are the pluses".
Dahl talked about the first years of the creation of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, about his like-minded people, and that 40,000 people joined the DPS in one day.
