The MRF is now without the honorary chairman Ahmed Dogan. The party's national conference unanimously elected Delyan Peevski as sole chairman.
Ahmed Dogan's people announced that they would challenge the decisions in court.
The MRF conference was held under the slogan "the best is yet to come."
The balance sheet - Article 9 and the figure of the honorary chairman, who was previously described as "the founder and first chairman," were finally dropped from the MRF statute.
And another important thing - the statute removed the possibility of two co-chairmen, and Delyan Peevski was elected sole leader of the MRF, BTV reported.
How did the conference in the capital go today?
Rock music and applause kicked off the 12th MRF conference in Sofia.
A report follows about what has been done by sectors. In the internal party plan - a chronology of the rift in the MRF after the failure of a joint cabinet with GERB.
„This was followed by a split in the PG of the MRF, the failure of the 50th National Assembly and a split in the MRF, despite Delyan Peevski's efforts to avoid this. Attempts at unity were met with „It's too late to do it“ and “There is no going back“, said Halil Letifov.
In the parliamentary aspect - the adopted laws.
“27 fully imported, developed and adopted by the PG of the MRF under the expert leadership of Peevski“, said Hamid Hamid.
A report for the municipalities as well.
“This makes a total of over 550 million for our municipalities investment program“, said Yordan Tsonev.
And on the international stage.
“Mrs. Yoncheva has a number of merits for our entry into Schengen“, commented Stanislav Anastasov.
Thus the official part ended and the MRF finalized both main tasks of the conference - the election of Peevski as the sole leader and the deletion of the honorary chairman.
„We all have a mission and our mission is the people, that's why we no longer have honorary chairmen. The only ones you will be accountable to are the people. We are only obligated to them“, said Delyan Peevski.
A reaction from those around Dogan followed.
„Today's gathering is an attempt to usurp not only the MRF party, but also the political system“, said Dzhevdet Chakarov from the “Alliance for Rights and Freedoms“.
Chakarov announced that an appeal to the court of today's decisions is also pending.
Meanwhile, in a written position, the liberal network of Southeast Europe announced that it was excluding Delyan Peevski's MRF from its membership and called on the liberals in Europe - ALDE to do the same. The motives - concerns about the rule of law.
