“It is obvious that Peevski is using his clubs – the prosecutor's office, the National Revenue Agency, the Anti-Corruption Commission, for purely political purposes to confiscate mayors and destroy political parties. This is happening entirely with the consent and approval of Borisov and the ruling majority, of which Peevski is a part.“ This was stated on the sidelines of the National Assembly by the co-chairman of “Yes, Bulgaria” Bozhidar Bozanov.
According to the MP, the way to stop this was the cordon sanitaire, which the formation proposed at the beginning of the 51st parliament.
„The cordon sanitaire was broken by Borisov, who took us out of the negotiations for forming a government just when it came to the question of Peevski's influence. That is why now we see Peevski taking pictures in his photo studio in front of the Bulgarian coat of arms, who is doing something unknown there. Peevski has seized state sovereignty, is pulling mayors and party leaders“, said Bozanov.
The MP also noted that Peevski, who claims to work for the people, has not taken a single political action in this parliament, with the exception of state-owned stores. "We, the opposition, are taking political actions for the people," Bojanov commented, stating that he has no way of knowing whether other people from the MRF-DPS group will secede, but he is confident that Peevski will continue to use his institutional clubs to threaten people.
“One of the versions of Dzhevdet Chakarov's resignation is precisely the pressure exerted by the prosecutor's office and the CPC on his family - completely non-political actions that are used for political purposes, namely to further control the MRF," Bojanov added.
The co-chairman of "Yes, Bulgaria" Ivaylo Mirchev commented on President Rumen Radev's suggestions that there will be an increase in inflation and prices immediately after the publication of the convergence reports, with which Bulgaria is expected to receive the green light to enter the eurozone from January 1, 2026. "If the president is so concerned about prices, he would not have signed the contract with "Botas", which obligates Bulgaria with nearly 6 billion leva for the next 13 years." According to Mirchev, it is hypocritical for Rumen Radev to obligate the country with billions and explain that he is very concerned about the poor.
