In Deliormana there is a split between rank-and-file despatchers and superintendents. It is about Ludogorie, where there is a large concentration of Bulgarian citizens of Turkish origin. He who masters the forest, masters a thousand voices. There are almost 1000 workers.

This was explained to the BNR by Diyana Zhelyazkova, editor-in-chief of the Radian.bg website.

On the other hand, it's the Deliorman. For our Turks, the people who experienced the Revival process, DPS is a cause. For them, the Movement is associated with Dogan. The regular dispatchers are loyal to Dogan.

"For a year we have been working on a project for media deserts, such as our border municipalities of Deliormana".

Special attention is paid to the municipalities of Venets and Nikola Kozlevo, Zhelyazkova pointed out in the program "Before all".

"These are the two smallest and poorest municipalities in the Shumen region. There are great problems in these areas. They are typical media deserts – no correspondents enter, there is only praise for the local government in paid publications".

Diana Zhelyazkova talked about the shock she experienced on July 31 in the village of Venets.

"At the session of the Municipal Council, I became the object of extremely aggressive behavior and almost physical self-assault with the security guard of the municipality of Venets. He attacked me without having any lines to challenge him with. He started insulting me, shouting at me. It was all about my work. There is a big problem in writing critical material about such municipalities. Apparently the tension is escalating there. After that, I received an explanation from municipal councilors that everyone in the local government is very nervous about the split in the DPS.

One of the topics that Zhelyazkova works on is appointments in the North-Eastern Forestry Enterprise.

"This is a huge and powerful structure that rules the forests and hunting farms in 4 districts in the Northeast. It is a huge lever of influence. There are almost 1000 workers. He who masters the forest, masters a thousand voices.

If the enterprise is under the influence of DPS – Peevski, we will count in the elections, we will see who they will vote for.

On the other hand, it's the Deliorman. For our Turks, the people who experienced the Revival process, DPS is a cause. For them, the Movement is associated with Dogan. The regular dispatchers are loyal to Dogan.

He who knows the abbreviation DPS will not automatically take the voters.

The last election also saw an outflow in these areas. If something happens to pit them against Dogan, they won't come out to vote. But of course, there will also be the factor of economic coercion.
